Jacob Abley, whose demise had been
expected for some days, passed away Tuesday night. The funeral will
be held at the M.E. Church tomorrow afternoon at 2:00, the pastor, Rev.
H.B. Brenaman, conducting the service. The following sketch of Mr.
Abley’s life is taken from the Green County History: Jacob Abley
was born in the canton of Glarus, Switzerland in Feb., 1823. He attended
school until 16 years of age and then employed in farming. In 1847
he came to American and settled in Montgomery Co., NY where he engaged
in farming for four years. He then went to work at the carpenter
and joiner’s trade, at which he was employed two years, then came west
to Indiana and spent 18 months in Lafayette, working at carpentering.
In 1854 he came to Monticello, Green County, and worked on the mill there
one winter. He continued working at his trade in different parts
of the county until 1860, when he bought land on section 30, of the town
of Albany, on which were slight improvements, consisting of 40 acres broken
and a log house, in which he lived 7 years, then built a commodious brick
home. He has since erected a frame barn and other farm buildings.
He owns 180 acres of land. He was married in 1859 too Angeline Meinert
and they have six children—Maria, Cassie, Lizzie, Ida, Willie, and Vena.

Anderson died Monday night, aged about 5 weeks. The little one was
never well and fell an easy victim to the grim destroyer. The funeral

parents have the deep sympathy of all in the death of their first-born.
