Mr. Abbenhaus has been a resident of Knox County for sixty years. He endured many hardships as a sturdy pioneer.
He came from Germany to Baltimore, Md., where he worked for a number of years cutting timber to help pay for his voyage over here.
Mr. Abbenhaus, then, went to Wisconsin, later journeying to Nebraska.
He leaves to mourn two daughter, Mrs. Frank Cook and Mrs. James Wilson of this vicinity and three sons, Frank and John of Bloomfield and George of Wambelee, S.D.
One son was claimed by death several years ago. His wife also preceded him in death about 45 years ago.
