Preble (b: ABT 1847); Frances Almira Preble (b: 1849); Eber C. Preble (b: 1852); Eber M. Preble (b. 1855), As a 19th-century woman, Abigail is less visible in the historical record than her husband, but GCIHS collections show that Abigail supervised the Preble family and farm, and paid the household bills. As the first president of the Cranberry Isles Benevolent Sewing Circle, later known as Ladies Aid, Abigail was the driving force behind securing funds for construction of the Island's first church, the Union Meeting House. The church was dedicated in 1866; it cost $3,200. Abigail was not immune to the hardships of her times. She lost two infant sons and saw her eldest son off to live in California during the gold rush of 1849. Abigail Preble died at age 66 in 1874; her husband lived another 21 years. [show more] | |||
