He was helping to sack cement from a bin which had a small amount taken from it and the doors had not yet been opened the cement being reached through a hole. All other men had gone from this department with some cars aand young Abbott was left alone.
It is suppoed that he went into the bin thriugh the hole to rake down the cemenet so that it would be easier to get. When the men were attracted by his screams they had to break open the doors and all of them worked frantincally for perhaps ten minutes before they got him out.
He was found in a standing position against the wall, for when the slide came he had no chanve to reach the hole to get out. The cement had packed so closely about him it had snuffed out his life spark.

He was an honest, industrious young man and quite well liked among his fellow workmen. He had only worked in the sacking department for about a week.
He was born June 24, 1892, turning 19 years old last June. His birthplace was Tennessee where he lived prior to coming to Chanute.
Besides the parents he leaves three brothers and three sisters behind. He was a member of the Motern Woodmen of America, having joined that organization two months ago.
