Charles E. Abbott, born about Sept, 1844 in Maine, is seen in 1860 household of his father, Jacob Abbott of Shapleigh. I lose site of him in 1870 census, but by 1880 he is now in Henry, Marshall County, Illinois, age 35, an artist, with Louisa age 32 (b.NY) and Harry, age 12 (b.Ill.). He is still here in 1900, renting a home on Main St. He is a photographer, with his wife Louisa H., she was born Apr, 1848 in New York, having had only one child but no longer living. This was Harry Abbott, who died in 1883, and was buried in Henry, Illinois.
By the 1910 census, Charles E. is now in Bellingham, Whatcom Co, Washington state, a widower at age 65, still a photographer, living in a boarding home.
He died at the Washington State Soldiers Home in Orting, Pierce Co, WA, on 5 Jan 1915, and was buried in their Home Cemetery.
