Notes from A Commemorative Biographical Record of the Counties of Brown, Kewaunee and Door, Wisconsin, Containing Biographical Sketches of Prominent and Representative Citizens, and Many of the Early Settled Families Chicago: J. H. Beers & Co., 1895: John L. McAbee, one of the well-known successful agriculturists of Lawrence township, is a native of Brown County, born November 1, 1842 in Fort Howard, son of Lambert McAbee, an early resident of the county. To Lambert and Sophia McAbee were born five children of whom John L., whose name introduces this memoir, was the oldest. In the spring of 1850 Lambert McAbee died and was buried in Allouez cemetery, leaving his widow with five small children. John Louis, the eldest, was not yet eight years of age.

He and his brothers and sisters helped their mother to plant, care for and harvest vegetables on their plot of land for many years. At first they barely had enough to eat, but eventually they were able to even sell some of their excess crop and make a profit, using the money to purchase shoes and staple goods.

John L. McAbee was about nineteen years old at the breaking out of the Civil war, and like many other young men, longed to take part in the suppression of the Rebellion. Accordingly, on January 3, 1862, he enlisted in Company "K", Seventeenth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, being sent to Madison, Wisconsin, whence after a short stay at Camp Randall, he was sent to Camp Benton, Saint Louis, and thence to Tennessee, arriving at Shiloh shortly after the engagement at that place. He participated in the fight at Corinth (his first battle) and next in the engagement at Holly Springs, from there going to Memphis where, on 18 January 1863, he received a disability discharge on account of illness, the result of a cold he had contracted at Madison, Wisconsin.

Immediately after receiving his discharge our subject returned to Brown County, and on November 14, 1865, he was united in marriage with Miss Abigail Garrity, who was born October 7, 1848 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She was the daughter of George and Abigail (Childs) Garrity, natives, respectively, of Ireland and New York State, who came in an early day to Milwaukee, and subsequently to Kaukauna, Outagamie County, where they were residing at the time of Mrs. McAbee's marriage. Mr. Garity was at one time an extensive landowner in Outagamie County, where he ranked among the leading men of his section. He died in Kaukauna, and his widow now makes her home in Wausau, Wisconsin.

After his marriage, Mr. McAbee built a log house on his present farm, and here he and his family resided until the erection of the pleasant home they now occupy. they have had children as follows: Angeline, deceased in infancy; Amos and Lambert at home; Geneva, Mrs. James Sullivan, of Lawrence township; Martha, deceased when two years old; James at home; Sophia, a well educated young lady who has held a teacher's certificate since her fifteenth year (my grandmother); Henry, deceased in infancy; Henry, living at home; Mary, deceased in infancy; Gertrude, at home; Ellen, deceased in infancy, and Louis and Maggie at home. Mr. McAbee has ninety-two acres of excellent farm land, all of which he himself has taken from its primitive state. He has been successful in his chosen vocation, and deserves great credit for what he has accomplished, especially as it is all the result of his own efforts. By reading and observation he has acquired a good practical education, in spite of his lack of early literary training. In politics he is a stanch [sic] Republican, and has served his township as supervisor, at present holding the position of health officer and for fourteen consecutive years he has been school director. He was selected to act a juryman three times, and served each time. In religious connection he and his wife are members of Saint Paul's Catholic Church at Wrightstown.

From Baptism records: Sophie Maccabee born Aug 8, 1878; daughter of Louis Maccabee & Abegail Garrity. Charles Maccabee born Feb 26, 1881; son of John Maccabee & Abbie Garrity. Henrica Patricia born Jun 15, 1872; daughter of Louis Maccabee & Abegail Garrity. Martha born May 31, 1874; daughter of John Maccabee & Abegail Garrity.

From Marriage records: James Sullivan (son of John & Helen Sullivan) married Henritta (Daughter of Louis & Abegail Maccabee) on October 28, 1890. Warren Barnum [my grandfather] (son of Ira & Ida Barnum) married Sophie Maccabee (Daughter of Louis & Abegail Maccabee) on Feb 24th 1903 [The record notes that the couple received a Dispensation from Mixed Religion and the ceremony was performed in the Rectory, not the Church]. James Maccabee (son of Louis & Abegail Maccabee) married Jennie Davis (daughter of Charles & Ellen Sullivan) on October 10, 1905.

From the Death records: Charles Henry Macabee (1 year old) died Feb 6, 1882; son of Louis & Abbie. Abegail Maccabee died Feb 12, 1897 at age 48; born about 1849 (Wife of Louis Maccabee)

NOTE: The Baptismal records sometimes listed the father of this family as John, sometimes as Louis and once as Alois; he is John Louis McAbee. In the Commemorative Biographical Record, one of his daughters is listed as Geneva, however she is listed in the baptism and marriage records above as Henrica Patricia and as Henritta. Also, two of his sons were Charles Henry and Henry Louis, one of whom died in infancy; in the above records they are shown as Charles Henry and Charles.

According to the childhood recollections of my grandmother Sophia McAbee, as told to her daughter Marion (Barnum) Patterson [my Aunt Marion], there was quite a bit of French spoken in the family. The French words for bread, milk, money, and many other everyday items were commonly used, as were many French sayings. Grandma Sophie was of the opinion that her father was far too generous. He was a farmer, and loaded up all his visiting relatives with butter, eggs, chickens, hams, etc.

His wife was apparently a very pretty woman, who died at the age of 48. She was "society-ish" and wanted her daughters to be well educated ladies so that they could marry well. She did not like them to go out to the family farm, although John L. McAbee regularly took his sons there to help him with the work. He and his sons "batched" on the farm during the summer school vacations, coming home only briefly on the weekends. The boys hated that, according to Grandma Sophie, but their father's word was law.

John Louis McAbee married Abigail Garrity (daughter of George Garrity and Abigail Childs) on 14 Nov 1865. Abigail Garrity was born on 7 Oct 1848 in Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin and died on 12 Feb 1897 in Travis City, Wisconsin. The Death Records of Wrightstown state: "Abegail Maccabee died Feb 12, 1897 at age 48; born about 1849 (wife of Louis Maccabee)." Her age at death was 48 years, 4 months, 5 days.
