Notes |
- His father's obituary, as it appeared in the Congregational Quarterly, June 1862, stated: "His first permanent religious impressions seem to have occurred at the death of his first born son, in its infancy; from which event, he ever after dated his conversion to God." No name was given to this son. Abram died at age four years, an age not normally considered infancy, but nevertheless an age at which strong feelings of affection could have developed between father and son. Abram's name was found memorialized on his father's grave monument.
