Abbott, Claude T. 
(1885-1904) Keowee Courier February, 1904, A great many sympathizing 
friends were at Coneross Baptist church last Saturday, not withstanding
the inclement weather, to attend the funeral of Claude Abbott, who was 
accidentally killed by a falling tree on Thursday morning. As the 
remains came in sight of the church about thirty vehicles were counted 
in the funeral procession which had followed from the grief-stricken 
parents on little Conneross creek. The casket was borne down the aisle 
by six friends of the deceased. The exercises, conducted by Revs. A. 
P. Marett and J. M. Sanders, were of a most impressive nature, "Some 
One Will Enter the Pearly Gate and the Parting Hand" were rendered, 
and all eyes were bedimmed with tears. The deceased young man was a 
consistent church member and lived an exemplary life, and his parents 
have no fear as to his future state. Claude Abbott went to the forest 
Thursday morning, with a companion to cut stock, full of youth and 
hope and as summers, but in a moment his life ended. Verily, "In the 
midst of life we are in death." Contributed by: Susan Brock-Booker,
