Edgar Abbett died at a sanitarium in Pueblo, Colo., shortly after 6 o'clock Sunday morning. The body is now enroute to this city, accompanied by a brother, Roy Abbett, and it is expected to arrive here Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock. The body will be taken to the home of L.C. Griffith on Sycamore street and the funeral will be held there. The time of the funeral has not yet been announced, but the mother, Mrs. Katherine Abbett, wants the services held Thursday if arrangements can be made to that effect. The exact announcement of the funeral will be made later. A.T. Griffith went to St. Louis this morning to meet the remains.
Born In this city twenty-five years ago, Edgar Abbett lived practically all of his young and promising life in Columbus. His health failed a few years ago and the physicians recommended that he go West.
Less than a year ago he was called home by the death of his father, Smith Abbett, and a few days later his brother, Joseph R. Abbett, died here Some weeks later the widow and her two sons, Roy and Edgar, returned to Colorado and located at Montrose. They were not satisfied with that location and moved to Colorado Springs, where both young men secured excellent positions. Mrs. Abbett was forced to undergo a surgical operation and returned to this city several weeks ago to have the operation performed. She had not yet returned to Colorado and was at the home of Mrs. Elmer E. Dunlap in Indianapolis when the message came Saturday evening that Edgar was dying. The Elks lodge here received a message about the same time.
A few months ago Edgar began to be troubled with rheumatism and was forced to give up his position. Friends recommended a sanitarium at Pueblo and he went there for treatment. He was greatly benefited for the time being and the last letter Mrs. Abbett received before the news of his death stated that he was much better.
The message telling of his death was wholly unexpected. Death is said to have been caused by kidney trouble.
The late Mr. Abbett was a member of the Elks lodge and the Odd Fellows of this city and was also a member of the Presbyterian church. He had a great many friends in Columbus who were hoping that he would be permanently benefited in health in the West and they were both saddened and shocked Sunday to hear of his death.
