Obituary
Abel William Hampton was born March 12, 1867 in Harrison county, Missouri, and died at Lawrence, Kansas, Friday morning at 5:32 o'clock, January 8th, 1932, at the age of 64 years, 9 months, 28 days. His parents died when he was yet a child and he then lived with the Allens, his grandparents, at Bethany, Missouri, where he was educated in the public schools. At the age of 18 he came west and helped handle cattle south of Kinsley, and on the open range in Oklahoma. He participated in the opening of every strip of land by the government in then Oklahoma Territory. Within five years after he came to Kansas he decided that Kinsley was to his liking and he established his residence here. He met Mable Rose Shaw and they were united in marriage January 21, 1893. He pursued the occupation of farming in Edwards County, particularly in stock and wheat raising. He became a conservative member of the community and helped in the development of the town of Kinsley. It was his desire to give his children the opportunity of education, and to attain that end, in 1927, he gave up the companionship of his friends, rented his properties, and removed the family to Lawrence where they have lived during the school months, returning to Kinsley each summer. One son graduated from the State University and two others are now enrolled in the same institution. About seven years ago, he was troubled with sickness which required surgical relief. He never fully recovered and was ill a number of weeks prior to his decease.
He was a faithful husband, a loyal father and a good citizen. He was a member of the Christian Church, and also a member of the local K. of P.
He leaves surviving him; his widow, Mable; a married daughter, Mrs. Eva Turner of Dodge City; and five sons, Clifford, Tudor, Johnny, Billy and Delbert, who are the home with their mother at Lawrence. He also leaves a sister, Mrs. Eva Piburn of Lamont, Oklahoma. There were two other children who died in infancy, and two other sisters, Belle Geer and Mary Peters, who died within the past few years. There are four grandchildren and numerous nephews and nieces. He also leaves a wide circle of friends who share in the grief of the family.
"Servant of God, well done,
thy glorious warfare passed;
The battle fought, the victory won,
And thou art crowned at last."
