ABBOTT, Lula Elizabeth Blanchett
Lula Elizabeth Blanchett Abbott (1-25-1870 to 4-1-1913) Keowee Courier 
April 2, 1913 Mrs. Lula Abbott, wife of J. Davis Abbott, died at their 
home near Coneross Tuesday morning (yeaterday) at 3 o'clock, after a 
severe illness from measles. She had been ill for 18 days, bur her 
condition was not generally realized to have been of a particularly 
serious nature until the latter part of last week. Mrs. Abbott was the 
daughter of Mr. And Mrs. W. Z. Blanchett, of the Rocky Knoll section, 
and was 43 years of age. She was a devout Christian and an earnest 
worker in the Coneross Baptist church, giving liberally of her time 
and means to the support of the church in its various branches of 
Christian endeavor. She was also a leader in the Sunshine Society of 
that church, one of the strongest and most active societies in the 
county. She will be sorely missed both in the home, in the church and 
in the community at large. Mrs. Abbott is survived by her husband and 
several children, her aged father and mother, six brothers and three 
sisters. The brothers and sisters are: Walter Blanchett of Quincy, 
Wash.; Calvin Blanchett, of Touchet, Wash.; Oscar Blanchett, of 
Chewalah, Wash.; Palm Blanchett, of Grovetown, Ga.; Sidney and Lewis 
Blanchett, of Walhalla; Mrs. Appie Schleuter, of Chewalah, Wash.; Mrs.
Alice Morton, of Grovetown, Ga.; and Mrs. Ella Singleton, of 
Westminster. To these and numerous other relatives in the county we 
extend heart-felt sympathy in their hour of sorrow. They sorrow not 
as those without hope. In the death of Mrs. Abbott a good woman has 
been called to her reward. She had been for twenty years a consistent 
member of the Baptist church, and her daily life was that of a 
consecrated Christian. Funeral services were conducted Thursday 
afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Coneross Baptist church, after which the 
body was lowered to its last resting place in the cemetery of that 
church, the pastor, Rev. L. D. Mitchell, conducting the services in 
the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends. Palm Blanchett 
and Mrs. Alice Morton, of Grovetown, Ga., brother and sister of the 
deceased arrived in time to attend the funeral services. Contributed
