Miami Union, 16 Mar 1900
Death of a Former Resident of our City
Dr. Luther J. Abbott died Feb 22 at his home in South Omaha Neb. He was born in 
Blue Hill, Me., Sept 15 1831, and was the son of Dr. and Mrs. Nicholas Abbott. 
While still a boy he came to Troy with his parents and received his education 
largely under the instruction of Rev. Daniel Rice, the Presbyterian pastor 
here. Afterwards he attended the Academy in St. Johnsbury Vt., for three years, 
then taking a course of three years in the Ohio Medical Collage in Cincinnati, 
followed by three years more in the Jefferson Medical Collage of Philadelphia, 
receiving his degree of M.D. from that institution March 12, 1854.
Returning to Troy, he began the practice of his profession as the partner of 
his father and continued with him until the autumn of 1860, when he went to 
Nebraska and in conjunction with his medical calling followed the occupation of 
a farmer, at a later date removing to Fremont where he resided for many years. 
Before the admission of Nebraska to The Union he was a member of the 
territorial legislature. Five years ago he was appointed superintendent of the 
state insane hospital at Lincoln, where he made an enviable record until his 
retirement from that position on account of his health.
He was married, Sept 12, 1854, to Miss Clara Culbertson, of Troy, the daughter 
of Henry W. Culbertson. His widow and six children still survive him. On son, 
Lieut. John W.C. Abbott is now in the Philippines with his regiment, the 30th 
United States Vol. The remains were taken to Fremont and buried there by the 
side of his four deceased children.
