Life
In 1870, Abram and his young family was living in Berne surrounded by his wife's family, where they were all working as farmers.[3]
By 1880 Abram, Emily and their children had moved to Westerlo, where they owned a farm and Abram was a farmer. Their business was successful enough that they had farm laborer named Joshua Powell who lived with them.[4] The same was true in 1900 however both children had moved out.[5] The 1900 census also recorded that Emily had 7 children only 3 of whom were still alive at that time.[5]
In the 1890 US Veterans Census, Abram confirmed his Civil War service and noted that he suffered from chronic diarrhea as a result of his military experience.[7]
By 1910, Abram owned his family without a mortgage. Joshua Powell no longer lived with them, however if he was still alive he would have been in his mid 80s. Now their youngest son Reuben had moved back home and was working the farm with his father.[6]

Abram died in Westerlo in 1914 and was buried in the South Berne Rural Cemetery.[9] His wife Emily died two years later in 1916 and was buried with her husband at the South Berne Rural Cemetery.[9][10] Also at the cemetery are their young daughters Celia and Nettie.[9]
