Page County, Iowa marriage record: Abbott, David to Catherine Loy, 01 Feb 1862
Departed this life on Monday evening, December 26, at six o'clock, Mrs Catharine Loy Abbott, aged 72 years and 7 days. She was born in Preble county, Ohio, in the year 1815, and grew to womanhood in that state. In 1854 she removed to Iowa and settled in Page county, where subsequently she was married to David Abbott and to whom she was a faithful wife until her decease. She was an early settler in Page county, and a long life of usefulness endeared her to the hearts of her many friend and associates. She was an active member of the Universalist church and an earnest, sincere and devoted christian--faithful to her Master's work under all circumstances. She was a loving mother to the orphan, with a heart full of charity to the needy. Her church was her main pillar of comfort and consolation in her declining years, and to its support she was a liberal contributor. Feeling that her departure was near she desired to leave for the benefit of her church a bequest of one thousand dollars, that though dead she might continue to help on the cause so dear to her soul. Before her desires could be expressed in legal form she was rendered incapable of hearing or speaking. But her friends know her wishes and desires, and morally in the sight of God her bequest is sacred to her church and stands good as her gift. The lawful heirs are friends to her church, men and women of honor and integrity, who esteem the memory of their departed sister and will do all that is possible to execute her dying verbal bequest. Her illness was of short duration, but severe, and her sufferings intense. Sweetly she leaned her weary head on Jesus' breast and quietly fell asleep in the arms of a Saviour's love. B.F. Snook.
