The following notice appeared in the "Genius of Liberty," October 5, 1824 (Tuesday): "Abiel Jenners departed this life on first day (Sunday) evening about 6 o’clock on the 26th ultimate in the 52 year of his age. He was born at Concord in the state of Massachusetts and emigrated when a young man to the city of Washington at which place he married Deborah Young, a native thereof, and removed with his family to this county in 1802, where he has resided ever since. He was a very industrious and skilled farmer, a kind neighbor and useful citizen having served for several years in the station of a magistrate, with reputation to himself and advantage to the neighborhood. Sensible as the loss of such a man is felt by a community, it is in the domestic circle and in the bosom of his own family that that loss is irreparable. He was a kind husband and very affectionate father and spared no expense within the limits of his circumstances (which were not inconsiderable) to educate and provide for his children. Long will they mourn his loss; but there is one who has promised to be a husband to the widow and a father to the fatherless, if they put their trust in him. Let not therefore, the afflicted mourn as those without consolation."
