First son of Pearl Edna Ritchie Abbott Sr. He had one younger brother, Earl Raymond Abbott.
Make note please. Thru DNA testing many sites and a few years now, I have not been able to match my father John M Abbott Jr to his father John Abbott Sr or anyone he should be related to on his father's side. 1st cousins, my g-grandparents (should be) Andrew Jackson Abbott and Susan Catherine Pitman Abbott they do not show up in my son's DNA or mine, my nephew nor my niece, they are children of my deceased and only sibling, Mary Beth Abbott Arrington, my sister. There is no male line to my dad so am stuck. WE HAVE MATCHES TO PEARL RITCHIE my dad's mother and Pearls mother Cora Cox show in our DNA, also the Ritchie family. Only his maternal side no paternal.
John and Mary E. Phelps married Aug. 9, 1941. They both attended and graduated Northeast High School class of 1939. Soon after their marriage the bombing of Pearl Harbor happened and WWII began. He served in the Army, returning from overseas in 1945 at the end of the war. He joined his wife and two baby daughters who had lived with her parents Jim and Hallie Phelps while he was in the Army. He was amazing had just turned 22 yrs old in 1944 when I was born and before he was shipped overseas. Can you imagine being just 22 with a wife, 2 babies and in the war, then work your way thru college, rent to a boarder in a two bedroom rented house, so my parents bed was in the living room and on top of that he drove a taxi in Rolla plus going to school and studying. Talk about guts and bravery at an early age and he never spoke of the war.
John enrolled in college on the GI bill and graduated from Rolla Missouri School of Mines as an electrical engineer. Upon graduation they returned to Kansas City where my dad found employment with his one and only job. He was worked for Kansas City Power & Light Company in charge of their transformer division and other positions. He was a Mason and a Shriner and was a charter member of the Fairview Christian Church in Gladstone, Mo.
He is the father of two daughters, one deceased, five grandchildren, eight g-grandchildren, and two gg-grandchildren.
Still loved and dearly missed, always in our hearts forever
Always a silent hurt,
many a silent tear,
but always a beautiful memory
of one we loved so dear.
