A telegram received yesterday morning imparted the information that Mrs. A. H. Abbitt had died at her home in Omaha. Mrs. Abbitt was in poor health for a couple of years and about ten days ago was taken seriously ill. J. A. Abbitt, Time Table foreman, received a telegram last Friday stating that his mother was very low and to come at once. After his arrival his mother appeared to rally and the attending physician held out hope for her recovery. Later, threatening symptoms became manifest and death came at 9:15 o'clock yesterday morning. According to present arrangements the funeral will be at 2:00 o’clock p.m. Friday.

The Abbitts lived in Lenox for many years and are well known to many of our people whose sympathies go out to the bereaved family

Abbitt, Lucy Ann Gray –

Lucy Ann Gray was born in Indiana in 1850 and moved with her parents to Des Moines, Iowa when a small girl and later to Gravity, Iowa where to grew to womanhood and was married to Aaron H. Abbitt on July 4, 1869. In 1870 they moved to Lenox where they resided for nearly thirty years, but for the last five years they have made their home in Omaha, Nebraska.

She was the mother of five children: John A., of Lenox, Iowa; Mrs. Mary E. Nott, of Kansas City, Mo., Wm. A., Matta E., and Raymond E. of Omaha Nebraska, all of whom were present to assist their father in taking care of their beloved mother. Everything that loving hands and medical skill could do was done but to no avail, the Master had called his loved one home, the call that we must all answer sooner or. later. She died at the family home at 4526 Mayberry Ave., Omaha, Nebraska, on Tuesday, Feb. 9, 1915, at 10:20 p. m. after that dread disease pneumonia had done its work, which was only nine days from the day she was stricken till she died. Besides her husband and children she leaves to mourn her loss three brothers, two sisters and many sympathizing friends.

She was a good neighbor, a kind loving wife and mother and always made friends wherever she went. The body was brought to Gravity, Ia. on Friday and taken to the old Gravity cemetery [Ladoga] where a short service was conducted by Rev. Wade of the Christian Church and the remains were peacefully laid to rest beside her father and mother who had preceded her some years before.
