Whalen, Abel (1855 - 13 Apr 1899)

Mr. Abel Whalen, an old time resident of Clark County and a prosperous and enterprising farmer of the town of York, died at his home last Thursday, April 13th, after a brief illness with congestion of the lungs. Mr. Whalen was born in St. Lawrence County, N.Y., in 1855, and early in life joined the tide of immigration to the West, coming to Wisconsin and first locating in Fond du Lac County. After a few years residence there he came with his family to this county, settling in the town of York where he has since resided. He has always been identified with the best interests and welfare of the town of York, and his death is regarded as a serious loss to that community. A wife, two sons and three daughters survive him.

Funeral services were held at the family home Thursday and the following day, after a brief service at the church in Christie, the remains were brought to this city for interment.
