Mrs. Abtole S. Colgate. 



Abbie Salisbury (McLellan) Col- 

 idow of Charles H. Colgate, died 

 residence, 92 Glen street, early 

 Wednesday morning, of heart disease. 

 For nearly twelve years Mrs. Colgate 

 has been subject to illness due to a 

 weak heart, and of late the attacks 

 have become more frequent. She re- 

 turned a week ago from a visit to her 

 son, Dr. Charles H. Colgate, Jr., at 

 Rockland and seemed much benefitted. 

 On Sunday she had another attack, 

 from which she was unable to rally. 



Mrs. Colgate leaves one son, Dr. Col- 

 gate, Jr., of Rockland; three daughters, 

 Miss Annie L. Colgate, Mrs. John E. Gil- 

 creast and Miss Mabel S. Colgate; two 

 grandsons, Cleveland and Alden Colgate 

 Gilcreast; and two brothers, Edward Mc- 

 Lellan, of Newton Centre, and Willir ' 

 E. McLellan, of Wollaston. Her hus- 

 band died three years ago. They were 

 married in 1867 in Chelsea and after 

 two years came to Somerville to live. 

 Mrs. Colgate has resided in her present 

 home thirty years. 



She was a member of Prospect Hill 

 Daughters of the Revolution, 

 Franklin Street Church. Al- 

 ways taking an active interest in both, 

 she was highly esteemed for her sterling 

 qualities and will be greatly missed by 

 a wide circle of friends. She was a fre- 

 quent contributor of poetry to the Som- 

 erville Journal.

 late residence, 92 Glen street, this (Fri- 

 day) afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Carl
