May 30, 1879 Utica Morning Herald Article on the Charles Abeling Family.
A memorable family.
Our special correspondence.
CANAJOHARIE,May 29 - In 1829, Charles Abeling and wife arrived at this place from Germany, and being pleased with the surroundings, settled down. They have resided here since and have had eleven children, ten boys and one girl, all of who are living and prospering. Nine of the boys, the oldest being 47 years old, and the youngest 23 years of age, are residing here, the eldest being the leading cigar manufacturer of this section. The other boy is following a successful occupation in California. Three of the boys went through the late war and never received a blemish. All of the children here are married, and the number of grandchildren is very large. Charles Abeling is now upwards of 72 years of age, while his wife is upwards of 70. Both are healthy, considering their years, and bid fair to be centennarians. W.F.C
