he attended the excellent public schools there during boyhood, and
later took a course in a business college. After graduating, he
returned to his native town, and engaged in mercantile business,
dealing in groceries, glassware and crockery, and has achieved a
success which speaks well for his ability, judgment and fair dealing.

is my Abraham Carrick? Is there a survived by line on his gravestone
