After their marriage they lived on a farm north of Macksburg, but later moved to their home in Macksburg, where they lived for thirty-five years. In January, 1930, when her health became impaired, they went to the home of her brother, in Afton, where she was until her death.

Mrs. Abbott first joined the Methodist church at Pleasant View. Later, when they left the farm, she united with the Macksburg Methodist church, where she was an interested and faithful member.

Funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church in Macksburg, Thursday, May 29th, at 2:30 o’clock, with the Rev. Eugene Alexander in charge. Interment was made in the Moon cemetery.
