Death of Mr. Frederick Abbott, of Tarcutta. (From a Correspondent.)
On the evening of the 19th August, at his residence Abbott's Ford, Mr. Frederick Abbott passed away in his 78th year. Mr. Abbott was born in the city of Cork. When very young, his father, (who was then Supervisor of Excise), removed with his family to the county of Kerry, of which county his mother (whose maiden name was Johanna M'Sweeny) was a native. From Kerry Mr. Samuel Abbott's next remove was to Eniscorthy, in the county of Wexford, the latter place remaining his headquarters. He was then promoted to the office of Collector of Customs and there Mr. F. Abbott grew up to man's estate, receiving his education in Dr. M'Cartney's celebrated grammar school.
He could relate most interesting anecdotes of celebrated Irishmen, men well known in the history of their country, whom he met in his father's house. He married the daughter of a Church of England Minister, the Rev. Samuel White, of Whitfield, County Wexford. In the year 1841 Mr. Abbott decided to emigrate to Australia with his family, and landed in Sydney at Christmas of the same year.
From Sydney he travelled up country to Tarcutta, in which neighbourhood he has always lived since. Thirty five years ago he purchased the farm of Abbott's Ford, where he resided until his death. He was a good friend and neighbour, and it might well be said of him he fed the hungry and clothed the naked. His house was open to everyone, all loved and respected him.
This winter has been a hard one for old people, and some time ago, Mr. Abbott caught a cold, from which he never seemed to recover. About three weeks ago his family commenced to feel anxious about him, since then he rapidly sank, dying, as has been stated, on Sunday evening. His wife and children were with him to the last.
The deceased was laid to rest in the place where he had lived so many years and the ones he loved. All who could attend were present to do honor to his memory—friends and neighbors, the children and grandchildren of friends long gone to their rest. From the friends of half a century to the toddling child, all mourned for the friend gone from them.
The Rev. M'Clinchiee conducted the funeral service. Mr. Abbott leaves a family of five children, three sons, and two daughters, 27 grandchildren, and four great grandchildren.
