Our Great-Grandfather, Anthony Peter "Tony" Abel, was born February 18, 1869 in Cincinnati, Ohio to John C. and Josephine Weilage Abel.
Tony married Mary Kennedy on December 11, 1895 in Decatur, IL. Mary died on October 27, 1925. Tony and Mary were the parents of seven children - six of whom lived into adulthood.
Tony was a tailor, as was his father and brother, Frank. He owned his own shop at 34 N. Vermilion Street, Danville, Illinois. In 1937, Tony moved to California where his son, Donald, was living and continued to work as a tailor in San Mateo, California until his death. Tony died suddenly on March 27, 1942 in Los Angeles, California; he was buried in Calvary Cemetery, Los Angeles.
I'd love to know more about Tony. My Dad, Tony's Grandson, Joe Schuman, remembered him well and would say he wished he knew what happened to him. It seemed not many people in the family really knew or perhaps, ever bothered to find out. Dad thought very highly of his Grandfather and missed him all his life. Many times he described the last time he saw him, always with tears in his eyes.
Peace be with Tony and all who love and miss him.
