Bio: CATHERINE DILS ABBOTT DIED-At Wapinitia, Sept 10th 1864 (9/10/1894) , Mrs. Kate Abbott, age 69 years.SOURCE: The Dalles Chronicle dated 9/12/1894FAMILY NOTES:Catherine Dils and Curtis G. Abbott were married in Miami, Ohio in 8/29/1847. After the birth of their first child Eliza in 1848 they moved to Indiana, settling in St. Joseph County. They had 4 more children Joseph, who married Mary Zoe Delore, Sarah who married Cassius Washburn, James who married Clara Pegg and Mary who married Sam Brown. Curtis left Indiana in 1857 or 1858 for California and after some mining, raised hogs in Humboldt County. He later brought the first sheep to this County in Oregon and Prineville and was one of the earliest settlers on the flat. In 1876 his son Joseph Abbott moved to Oregon, his brother James followed the next year. Curtis sent for his family to join him. Family history states -The Abbott's crossed the plains in an Immigrant Train by Railroad arriving in The Dalles, Oregon in April of 1884. They got Emigrant tickets and could cook in these cars as they were equipped with stoves. Coming at this time was Eliza Abbot who married Benjamin Forman and her sister Mary Abbot, who later married Sam Brown and their mother Catharine Abbot. Their brother Joseph had been in this Country and went back to escort them from Elkhart, Indiana. Others that came at the same time believed to be related to the Abbott's were the Christian Confer family. Sarah remained in Indiana with her family. ----------NAME NOTES:Catherine's maiden surname is one of several. It is Dilts on her marriage record. It is spelled Dills on her death certificate and Dils on one of her childrens death certificatesIt is spelled Dills /Diltz and Dils on census records. We have not been able to verify what city she was born in. She was married in Miami, Ohio. However it is believed that she was a sister to William Dils that lived next door to her in Indiana. William had a daughter Eliza Dils Snyder who was also known as "Libbi" who sent a birthday card to Sarah's sister Eliza Abbott Forman stating she was her cousin, signed Libbi.------------MARRIAGE RECORD: from Miami County, OhioAbbott, Curtes G.

BENJAMIN L. FORMAN, who resides
about two miles west from Wapinitia, is one of
the representative and leading men of Juniper flat,
and has one of the choice places to be found in
that fertile region. He was born in Linn county,
Missouri, on November 17, 1859, the son of
Major Luther T. and Arminta (Brown) Forman,
natives of Kentucky. The father was a native
of Bourbon county and his parents, who were
Scotch, were born in the same place. He fought
all through the Civil war and held the rank of
major when he was mustered out. He was a
prominent stockman and merchant and died in
Linn county, Missouri, in 1902. The mother's
parents were born in Kentucky and she died when
our subject was four years old. Benjamin L.
grew up on the farm, gained his education from
the district schools and assisted his father in the
stock business, being closely associated with him
in shipping stock from Texas. He remained at
the home place until March, 1889, when he came
to this county and took land where he now re-
sides. He now owns twelve hundred acres,
which is well provided with water, both living
and that pumped from various wells with wind-
mills. He has improvements of the best, a large
story and one-half white residence, commodious
barns and outbuildings and all the paraphernalia
needed on a first-class farm. Mr. Forman win-
ters about one hundred and fifty cattle, raises
lots of horses and sells many hogs each year.
He is one of the most successful men of the
county and is a leading figure in the conventions
and in public matters generally.

On July 4, 1890, at the Davis ranch, Wapini-
tia. Mr. Forman married Miss Eliza Abbott, who
was born in Miami county, Ohio. Her parents,
Curtis G. and Catherine (Dils) Abbott, were
