Four brothers, William Abney of Springfield, Ohio, Frank of Colorado; Springs, Colorado, Ottawa of Gillespia, Illinois and Oscar of Iuka, Illinois, and other relatives and friends to mourn his demise. He was a devoted husband, a loving father. The last days of his life were ones of suffering and pain, but he often spoke of how, happy they would be when in their home at Iuka once more. There is a vacant place in the home which never can be filled, his voice on earth is has died, and we say that he is dead, but blessed are the dead that died in the Lord.
