ABBOTT DIES OF HIS OWN BULLET
Adrian A. Abbott, 50, well known gardner and trucker in Nebraska City, Nebraska, died from a bullet in his brain early Wednesday morning at St. Mary's Hospital.
His sons, Donald, 21, and Tommy, 17, held for questioning until Wednesday morning, said that they and their father and an uncle Pete Abbott visited the Central Bar Thursday Night.
An argument occurred between Pete and Adrian, and one of the sons took his uncles's side in the argument, calling his father a liar.
Abbott drove home in his truck and the two boys walked home. After they entered the house about 11:30 P.M., they said the argument continued. After Abbott asked his son if he still thought he was a liar and his son said he did, Abbott pulled a 33 caliber revolver from his pocket, held it to his temple and pulled the trigger.
The revolver usually was kept in a table drawer, the boys said.
Abbott died in the hospital about 3 A.M.
Abbott's wife was burned to death when their home was destroyed by fire about five years ago.
Surviving are nine children, Darold, Thomas, Vernus, 18, Larry, 7, and Guy, 9, at home, Martin 33, Nebraska City, Nebraska, Gene in the Air Corps in Texas.
Mrs. Lola Barrett and Mrs. Wanda Barrett, Nebraska City, Nebraska.
Also surviving are two brothers, Pete, Nebraska City, Nebraska, Albert, last known address was Malvern, Iowa, and Mrs. Melvin Cohn, Imogene, Iowa, and Jane Brown, Nebraska City, sisters. Also his mother, Mrs. Fanny Abbott of Nebraska City, Nebraska.
Mr. Abbott was born August 3, 1899, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Rastus Abbott, at Imogene, Iowa. He was married July 10, 1921 at Red Oak, Montgomery County, Iowa to Nora Jones.
Mr. Abbott was a member of the Eagles Lodge.
The body is at the Porter Funeral Home.

AUGUST 10, 1944, VICTIM OF A FIRE
NORA JONES ABBOTT DIES OF BURNS AT NEBRASKA CITY HOME
Mrs. Nora Jones Abbott, 40, of Nebraska City, wife of Adrian Abbott and eldest daughter of Mrs. Alta Jones of Red Oak, Iowa, was burned to death Thursday in a fire which destroyed their home and all of its contents.
The accident happened shortly before noon Thursday when Mrs. Abbott accidentally put gasoline instead of kerosene in the kitchen range to start a fire. She had spent the earlier part of the morning canning.
She was enveloped in flames and her baby Larry, two and a half years old, who was in the kitchen, was seriously burned.
Everything was destroyed and gowns were borrowed from neighbors before Mrs. Abbott and her baby could be taken to St. Mary's Hospital. Mrs. Abbott lived until midnight
Nora Irene Jones was born November 4, 1904 in Coburg, Iowa to John and Alta (Van Kirk) Jones. She was one of eleven children. She married Adrian Adair Abbott on July 10, 1921. She was the mother of 10 children, Lola, Martin, Everett, Darold, Wanda, Thomas, Ellinor, Carl, Guy, and Larry. She died August 10, 1944 at the age of 40. She is buried in Nebraska City, Nebraska at the Wyuka Cemetery.
Survivors include her husband, Adrian, 10 children, her mother, Alta, 9 brothers and sisters, and other relatives, a number of whom are in the service. She is preceded in death by her father John Martin Jones and one brother, Riley Elwood Jones.
(Nora married Adrian, the brother of her sister Bonnie's husband, Adam.)

LITTLE HOPE FOR EXPLOSION VICTIM
Mrs. Adrain Abbott, about 40, mother of nine children, was given only a bare chance to recover Thursday afternoon from burns she suffered in an explosion at her home shortly before noon.
The Abbott house, 1101 North Seventh Street, Nebraska City, Nebraska, was gutted. Mrs. Abbott suffered burns over four-fifths of her body and many of them were third degree burns, Dr. C. G. Zimmerer, her physician, said. He said plasma was to be administered.
Also burned was Larry, between two and three years old, but he was given a better chance to recover at St. Mary's hospital.
Fire Chief Claude Kastner said he did not know exactly what had taken place. Oil was said to have exploded, either while Mrs. Abbott was kindling a fire in a cook stove, or while she was using a small oil stove in the kitchen.
Mrs. Chas. Rawling, who lives a block south on Seventh Street, turned in the alarm. She said she heard an explosion, looked out her back door and saw flames shooting out both the front and back doors of the Abbott residence.
Everything in the Abbott house was destroyed by fire and neighbors believed there was no insurance. Among the charred articles that still was recognizable were a sewing machine, a washing machine, and a kitchen range, in which a fire had been laid with kindling which had not been burned. On the floor beside the stove was what had been a kerosene or gasoline can.
Mr. and Mrs. Abbott and seven of their children lived in the house. A boy is in the service and a daughter is married and lives elsewhere in Nebraska City, Nebraska. Abbott does garden plowing and other odd jobs.
