Obituary

Word was received here today that Earl Abbey, son of Mrs. F. L. Abbey of Newton was drowned in the gulf at Port Arthur, Texas, Sunday attempting to save a man who was struggling against the undertow. Abbey rushed into the water in his clothing and was dragged under. His father was Dr. Frank Abbey, pioneer physician who died a few weeks ago. (c) HCGS. The Hutchinson News. 20 July 1931.
