DEATH AT THE FEAST.
MRS. MARY ABBOTT DROPS DEAD AT HER HOME.
Was Entertaining a Party of Young Persons in Honor of Her Daughter-in-Law To Be - Died Suddenly Just Before Dinner Was to Have Been Served.
Mrs. Mary Abbott dropped dead yesterday afternoon as she was preparing to entertain guests at dinner. Her daughter-in-law-to-be and other young friends were to dine with her. She had arranged the table tastefully, decorating it with fresh cut flowers and just before 6 o'clock, the time set for the dinner, she had gone to the kitchen to prepare the ice cream. While she was leaning over the freezer she suddenly fell forward and expire from an acute attack of Bright's disease [see obit below].
Naturally the house was in great confusion. Mrs. Abbott was tenderly borne to her room, but it was too late for mortal assistance to do her any good. Before she had been placed upon her bed she had breathed her last.
Physicians were summoned and declared that Mrs. Abbott had died from Bright's disease. The dinner was forgotten in grief of the family and the guests. Throughout the confusion, as a commentary upon the uncertainty of human life, the table which the dead woman had carefully prepared for her guests remained under the lights with its flowers sending forth their fragrance and its plates and knives and forks untouched. The hostess had suddenly been called to another world.
Mrs. Mary Abbott was the widow of Albert L. Abbott, who died several months ago. She was a woman who had experienced much sorrow, but who had through all the ills of life borne herself bravely and done a great deal toward ameliorating the sorrows of others. She is survived by six sons, among them who are Ginder and Palmer Abbott of the Abbott Cycle Company, Robert Abbot and Albert Abbott. Robert Abbott is well known in New Orleans and very popular. He for a long time was connected with the Cycle Company, but has lately devoted himself to the stage, having acquired much reputation as an amateur actor.
The funeral will be held Thursday morning at 10 o'clock from the residence, 1640 State street.

FUNERAL OF MRS. MARY ABBOTT.
The remains of Mrs. Mary Abbott, who died suddenly Tuesday evening while preparing to entertain guests at dinner, were laid to rest in Metairie Cemetery yesterday morning. Services were held at the house at 10 o'clock, by Rev. Dr. McF. Alexander, who in a few words referred to her exemplary Christian life, her devotion as a wife, and her tender care as mother to her step-children as well as her own children.
Mrs. Abbott was the widow of A. L. Abbott, well known in this city, who preceded her to the grave but a few months ago. She is survived by four sons - Robert, Albert, Ginder and Palmer Abbott. Robert Abbott is well known in New Orleans, having been connected with many commercial enterprises here. Ginder and Palmer Abbott are the managers of the Abbott Cycle Company, while Albert is connected with E. C. Palmer & Co. Mrs. Abbott leaves three immediate grandchildren and a number of step-grandchildren, to all of whom she was devoted.
Mrs. Abbott had always enjoyed the best of health, and the circumstances under which death came to her made her demise the more grievous. To all appearances she was perfectly well in the morning, and attended to her household duties as usual. She expected guests at dinner that evening among whom was the bride t0-be of one of her sons, and set about making prepartions. She had just completed them when she was seen to fall. Servants ran to her assistance, and called to her daughter-in-law who had left her but a few moments before. She was tenderly placed on a lounge, but expired before medical aid could be summoned. Death was caused by a stroke of apoplexy and not by Bright's disease as first stated.
Mrs. Abbott was a woman of high moral attainments and lived for the good of those about her. Her private charities she carried on in an unostentatious way, and none who ever asked for help was refused. She had been a member of the Prytania Street Presbyterian Church for a number of years, and led an exemplary Christian life. She was loved by all who knew her, and her absence at the fireside and in the circle in which she moved will be felt by a host of sorrowing friends.
