Jul 11, 1862 Hoseman George N. Abercrombie, 28 Engine 7
He was killed by falling walls, during a fire in the building at 61-63 Sudbury Street, 2 alarms, District 1-Station 11, (William's Stables, Sudbury Street) Sounded at 2041 hours with the 2nd alarm at 2048 hours, several other firefighters were injured. He was removed from under the debris and brought across the street where he died. His body was then brought to his house on Tyler Street. He was married with 3 small children.
My Notes:
The son of Robert Spence Abercrombie (born in Keene, NH) and Mary Bean (born in Canterbury, NH), he was born in Kingsey*, Quebec and baptized on March 16, 1840.
The husband of Henrietta French whom he married August 14, 1854 in Boston.
George and Henrietta were the parents of four children:
George Norman Abercrombie (1856–1856)
Mary Etta Abercrombie (1857–1949)
Frederick Norman Abercrombie (1859 – )
John James Abercrombie (1861–1922)
George N. Abercrombie was the grandson of Pvt. James Bean, Revolutionary War Veteran, New Hampshire. (SAR Records)
*Kingsey is now known as St. Felix de Kingsey as renamed as the French influence grew overwhelming in the early twentieth century.
