Daughter of Anson Rockwell and Hannah Coye.
from the Janesville Daily Gazette, Monday, Nov 1, 1897:
Mrs. R.A. Abell died Saturday at 5:30 p.m. in consequence of partial suffocation.
She upset a lamp in her bedroom at 11 o'clock Thursday night and the fire spread rapidly, the room filling with dense smoke.
Mr. and Mrs. S.J. Cuckow, in spite of their eighty-three years, fought the fire valiantly and effectively and succeeded in putting it out...
When the flames had been extinguished it was found that all of Mrs, Abell's clothing had been destroyed and the carpet,floor and doorway badly burned. The long exposure to the suffocating fumes had nearly overcome Mrs. Abell and had a serious effect upon Mr. and Mrs. Cuckow although they were not in the room so long a time. Mrs. Abell seemed dazed by fright and could not leave the spot. Friday morning she seemed to have recovered in great measure and was about the house but Friday night she began to fail and died Saturday evening.
Mrs. Abell was aged sixty-seven years. Besides her husband, Robert A. Abell, she left one daughter, Mrs. C.P, Stacey of Chicago, and three sisters - Mrs. Mary Montague and Mrs. Pricilla Dewey of Chicago, and Mrs. F.F. Lewis of Jackman street. The funeral services will be held at the home, 268 South Main street, Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Mr. Dennison officiating...
