 | William Charles Robert Abeling Sr.
|
 | William Charles Robert Abeling Sr and Caroline Abbey Abeling
Estimated date range: 1930 to 1934.
Location is unknown, but would guess its at the Abeling home on Maple Avenue. |
 | WR Abeling Sr along side a "Moosehaven Mooseheart" float in a local parade.
WR was an active member of the Canajoharie Lodge 1128, L.O.O.M (which I believe stands for Loyal Order Of the Moose?). In fact, at one time WR was dictator of the lodge.
Date and location are unknown. |

WR was an active member of the Canajoharie Lodge 1128, L.O.O.M (which I believe stands for Loyal Order Of the Moose?). In fact, at one time was dictator of the lodge.
Date and location are unknown. |
 | WR Abeling Sr holding Charles F. Abeling, Robert William Abeling on the right.
Considering Charles F Abeling was born 1918 and died in 1923, the photo's estimated date would be 1920 or 1921.
Location appears to be the back of the Abeling home on Maple Ave, as I was told that there used to be stairs that went from directly to the second floor from back yard. |
 | WR Abeling Sr, Frederick Abeling, and Robert William Abeling
Man on left is William Robert Abeling, Sr. Boy is middle is Robert William Abeling, Girl is unknown? Man on right is Frederick Abeling.
Photo is believed to have been taken in town of Day area, as Robert William Abeling recalls going with his grandfather William to visit his Uncle Fred in the Day area.
Robert William Abeling was born 1916. If we estimate him to be 5 years old in this photo, the year might be 1921. |
 | Lester Abeling, Robert William Abeling, WR Abeling Sr.
Left: Lester Abeling
Middle: Robert William Abeling,
Right: WR Abeling Sr.
Brian Abeling's Notes:
If we estimate Robert William Abeling to be 16 to 18 years old, that places the photos date in the range of 1932 to 1935. However, WR Abeling Sr's obituary states that he died in 1936 and was ill for 2 years. If that's true, I would suggest the date for this photo to be 1932 or 1933.
Location is unknown |
 | WR Abeling Sr and Robert William Abeling
Left: WR Abeling Sr in his World War I uniform, holding Robert William Abeling.
Robert was born in 1916 and if we estimate him to be 1 or 2 years old, this photo would be 1917 or 1918.
Location is NOT the Abeling home on Maple Ave. Robert William Abeling confirmed that he did not move to the Maple Ave home to live with his grandparents until his younger brother Charles got sick around 1921. Most likely this would have been a home on Montgomery or Shultz St that Lester and Katherine Abeling were renting. |

 | WR Abeling Sr Obituary 1936
William R. Abeling, well known resident of Canajoharie, died at his home at 93 Maple Avenue on Tuesday morning, September 8, after an illness of two years. The deceased was a son of John L. and Christina Reimenschneider Abeling and was born in Canajoharie on March 4, 1874. For many years Mr. Abeling was employed by the Village of Canajoharied and his last work was as foreman in the charge of the building of the retaining wall on the west side of Canajoharie Creek on Mill Street. He was a member of St.Mark's Luthern Church, the Dad's Auxiliary of the American Legion and Canajoharie Lodge, 1128, L.O.O.M. of which he was an active member, serving as dictator of the lodge.
Surviving are his widow; three sons, Fred Abeling of Conklinville; Lester and William of Canajoharie; one daughter, Mrs. Harry E. Fusmer of Canajoharie; four sisters, Mrs. Leonard Beyer, Misses Florence and Louise Abeling of Amsterdam; Harrison Abeling of New York City and Fred Abeling of Ilion; also thirtenn grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
The funeral services will be held at the late home of 93 Maple Avenue on Friday afternoon at 2:30 with Rev. Frank Shimer officiating, and the interment will be in Prospect Hill Cemetery. |

Collected off the back of a grocery bill from 1897. |
 | 1901 Doctor's Bill from Dr. C.F. Timmerman, Amsterdam, New York
Doctor's bill dated August 1901 from Dr. C.F. Timmerman in Amsterdam, New York.
Brian Abeling's Notes: I'm not exactly sure what date the services were provided, as there appears to be three dates on bill...
1) August 12, 1901 in the upper right
2) August 20 / '99 in the middle
3) August 16, 1901 near the bottom.
Interesting thought - depending on how you interpret the dates and considering his daughter, Hazel Abeling Fusmer was born on Oct 10th, 1901, might this be the doctor's bill related to the Hazel's birth?

 | July 17, 1893 Beef and Lard bill from Charles E Shultze
Bill for $.55 for beef and lard from the Washington Market in Canajoharie, NY on July 17, 1893.
Brian Abeling's Notes: Noticed that the bill, $.55 was paid in full within 2 days. Not bad for a newly married couple, as William and Carrie had only been married for 6 months - they were married in Jan of 1893. |
