The Andover Townsman – September 29, 1893 – Vol. 6 – No. 51 – Page 4
The news of the death of Mary S., daughter of the late Sylvester Abbott, came as a sad surprise to her relatives and many friends in town. She passed away very suddenly last Saturday in Amesbury where she was visiting. The cause of her death was typhoid fever.
Deceased had been at Hampton Beach and had started on her way home, but not feeling like taking all the journey at once, stopped at the home of her cousin, Dr. Le Roy, in Amesbury. Her trouble soon developed into typhoid fever, but up to Saturday afternoon nothing serious was apprehended. Then she suddenly became worse and died that evening.
Miss Abbott was 39 years and 3 months old. She was educated in our public schools, graduating from Punchard in 1872. and afterwards became a teacher, in which vocation she was very successful, being a woman of much ability, and well read.
She was much attached to her home duties and it is here that her cheerful presence will be most missed. She was a member of the South Church and active in all church matters. Her fidelity to a Christian life was strong and an excellent example for those with whom she came in contact. In fact, she was a woman of rare attainments, and her death will be felt keenly on all sides.
A widowed mother and one sister, Mrs. Samuel Bailey, survive her. Funeral services were held at the house Monday afternoon, P-of. W. H. Ryder of the Seminary officiating. The remains were buried in the South Cemetery.
