    Bio: Obituary from the Dufur Dispatch, July 1901:C J Abbott died at the home of his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Foreman, at Wapinitia, Last Sunday night, at the age of 76. Mr. Abbott was born in Miami County, Ohio, and at an early day he crossed the plains to California. Coming from there to Oregon he settled at Wapinitia, where he has resided ever since. He was a kind hearted man, a good citizen and held in high esteem by a large circle of friends, which extended to all parts of the county. The Deceased leaves three daughters and two sons - J. P. and J.C. Abbott, Mrs. B.S. Foreman and Mrs. Samuel Brown, who all reside at Wapinitia and were at his bedside at the time of his death, and Mrs. C. J. Washburn, of Ohio - Dufur Dispatch, 7/1901---------Corrections to Obituary: Mrs C J Washburn would be Sarah Abbott Washburn, who lived in Indiana; age at death would be 77 if born in 1824 and died in 1901.---------NOTES BY GRANDAUGHTER BARBARA A IN CACatherine 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 (source was a note from another granddaughter). He later brought the first sheep to Oregon and Prineville and was one of the earliest settlers on the flat (source a picture and note from grandson. In 1876 his son Joseph Abbott moved to Oregon, his brother James followed the next year 1877. His wife Catharine and daughters Eliza and Mary came in 1884. No known record if Curtis and Catharine ever divorced after so many years being separated. They are buried next to each other at Kelly Cemetery in Oregon. -----------FAMILY NOTES PROVIDED BY GRANDSON STUARTFamily 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. Curtis was a very prominent man and was one of the leading stock breeders in Oregon. He was known as a liberal, enterprising and good man. Family stories state he buried much of his wealth in Oregon. --------MARRIAGE RECORD--Miami, Ohio Abbott, 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
    born in Ohio, the mother in Montgomery county.
    The father died here on June 29. 1901. The
    mother's father was native to Miami county,
    Ohio, and her mother was born in Virginia. Mr;

    half brothers, Joseph, William, and five half sis-
    ters, Mrs. Kate Stanley, Lida, Mrs. Virginia Den-
    boe, Stella, and Mrs. Maggie Hill. To Mr. and
    Mrs. Forman one child has been born, William,
    aged fourteen. Mrs. Forman's people removed
    to Indian in 1848, settling in St. Joseph county.
    In 1857, her father went to California and after
    mining some, raised hogs in Humboldt county.
    He brought the first sheep to this county and to
    Prineville and was one of the earliest settlers on
    the flat. He remained here until his death. He
    was a very prominent man and was one of the
    leading stock breeders in Oregon. He was known
    as a liberal, enterprising and good man. Mrs.
    Forman has two brothers, Joseph C, James P.
    and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Brown, Mrs. Sarah
    Washburn. Mr. Forman is a member of the

    respected people.
