Abijah ABBOTT, the father of Charles F. ABBOTT, was among the early settlers 
of Madison, Dane County, WI, and his death, 28 Mar 1886, was mourned by a 
large circle of acquaintances and friends. The father of Abijah ABBOTT was 
born in Cornwall, Addison County, VT, coming of an old New England family 
whose ancestry hailed from the Albion shores. The parents of Abijah ABBOTT 
lived and died in VT, but their son, Abijah, started out early in life as a 
merchant at Middlebury, Addison County, VT, later changing his business to 
that of marble and granite dealer at Sudbury, Rutland County, VT, where he 
remained until 1855, when he shipped his stock to Madison, WI, and 
established the business in which his son, Charles F. ABBOTT, is now so 
successfully engaged, located on West Main Street. Abijah ABBOTT continued 
to manage his business until within a few years of his death. During his 
entire life in Madison Abijah ABBOTT was known as a worthy citizen and a 
stanch member of the Republican party. The Congregational Church received 
his hearty support, as he attended the services of that religious body. The 
wife of Abijah ABBOTT, Eveline P. (FIELD) ABBOTT, was also a native of 
Cornwall, Addison County, VT, a member of the old FIELD family that has been 
identified with the history of the country for so many years, Cyrus W. FIELD 
being a descendant of the same stock. This good woman and true wife passed 
away on 28 Jan 1886, in the membership of the Congregational Church.
