ABBOTT, Willis W. 
(1822-1912) Keowee Courier May 1912, Death of Rev. W. W. Abbott----
Union Protracted Services, Seneca, May 7---Special: The death of Rev. 
W. W. Abbott occurred at his home near Seneca on Sunday, the 5th 
instant. Mr. Abbott's death marks the passing of a very familiar 
land-mark, he having lived at his late home for a number of years, 
and having reached the ripe age of ninety-one years. His ministry was 
remarkable in that he probably baptized and married more people than 
any preacher in the county. His wife preceded him to the grave only a 
few years ago. The funeral services were held at Hopewell Baptist 
church on Monday afternoon, and were largely attended by sorrowing 
relatives and friends. Contributed by: Susan Brock-Booker,
