ABBOTT, Jeptha George 
(1826-1904) Keowee Courier, Death of Jephtha G. Abbott On last Monday 
another of Oconee's aged citizens passed from life to eternity. Mr. 
Abbott was in his 78th year, having been born in this county in 1826. 
He had never become a member of any church, but his life was one of 
strict honesty and uprightness in all its phases. In early life he 
married Miss Jane Dowis, who preceded him some years to the grave. 
There was but one child born to this union---John W. Abbott, who 
resides near Walhalla---and with whom Mr. Abbott had lived for several 
years. Yesterday morning at 11 o'clock the remains of the deceased 
were laid to rest at the Neville cemetery, west of Walhalla, the 
funeral services being conducted by Rev. J. M. McGuire in the presence
of a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. To the 
bereaved ones we join in extending sympathy in their hour of sorrow.
