From Story County Watchman February 8, 1895

The report reached this city the first of the week that Will Abbott, who formerly lived here had just died, and that the remains would be taken to Cedar Falls for interment.

From Story County Watchman February 15, 1895

The death of O. A. Lyssand and W. C. Abbott, at nearly the same time, was made the occasion of the passage by Samson Lodge, Knights of Pythias, the following resolution:
WHEREAS, O. L. Lyssand and W. C. Abbott both past chancellors of this lodge, have been called from the castles of earth to the mansions above, therefore
Resolved, That Samson Lodge learns of the departure of thse esteemed brothers with most profound sorrow and mourns for them as men of industry, worth and integrity, whose companionship gave pleasure and whose example was deserving of imitation.
