<\/a><\/p>\nThose were a lot of vetoes. Abraham had actually died in February 2nd before this veto took place. Here is an article that preceded the above from the Boston Globe on 14 April 1925:<\/p>\n
Here is an article from the Fall River Daily Evening News from 6 September 1907:<\/p>\n Here is some basick information on John Pilling and his family:<\/p>\n Abraham was born in 1865 and was the son of John Pilling. Mary Pilling had John before she married Robert Hartley, my ancestor. Abraham was born five days after the Civil War was over.<\/p>\n This is probably an early mention of Abraham in the Fall River Globe on 6 May 1889:<\/p>\n Abraham was apparently on a sports team called the Olympics. Abraham was not afraid to get into a fight.<\/p>\n Here an entry from 19 July 1889:<\/p>\n A day later Pilling was in the paper for a quarter mile race:<\/p>\n More from July 23:<\/p>\n Sounds like an exciting game.<\/p>\n Now I’m curious about his trip to England as Abe’s father abandoned the family and took off to England in 1877 when Abe was only 12.<\/p>\n Here is one record:<\/p>\n This must be Abe’s return. At this time, he was a weaver:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here is a later trip:<\/p>\n Here he took his wife and two children:<\/p>\n A report of the annual Sons of St. George Day at Rocky Point:<\/p>\n James’ obituary was posted in the Fall River Daily Evening News on 1 April 1919:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In 1891 and 1892 as Abe worked on the police force, he changed from footballer to referee.<\/p>\n The Fall River Daily Herald reported:<\/p>\n Perhaps Abe’s wife needed a break from the police force drama. Marion was Abe’s sister.<\/p>\n Some criticism of Abe on the baseball team:<\/p>\n Abe also played quoits:<\/p>\n Quoits was a type of ring toss game:<\/p>\n More problems for Abe:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n From the Fall River Daily Evening News:<\/p>\n I mentioned this trip the Abe took with his family above. I’m curious as to whom he visited. His father was dead by now. It seems that I recall that my great Aunt Nellie aslo traveled to England at some point.<\/p>\n Here is some more news on Abe’s trip:<\/p>\n The name Thomas Wilkinson is interesting. The article doesn’t mention the purpose of the visit.<\/p>\n I like how the paper covers the local news:<\/p>\n I still have a few years to go.<\/p>\n The next day’s paper:<\/p>\n There are many more details. Alice’s brother Everett was an usher.<\/p>\n After this time, there are few significant newspaper articles about Abe.<\/p>\n Here is Abe with my Hartley relatives around 1921 or 1922:<\/p>\n Abe is in the back row with white hair, a mustache and bow-tie.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n22 Feb 1890<\/h4>\n
