                THOMAS J. ABBETT, head packer in the Lincoln mill since
              1892, was born June 10, 1867, in Dakota county. His early
              schooling was in Hastings, but at the age of twelve his
              parents removed to Minneapolis, where he finished his edu-
              cation. He was later employed in the Pillsbury and Washburn
              mills until 1892. He then came to Anoka, and has filled the
              position of head packer at the flour mill in Anoka ever
              since. He was married in 1892, on the 20th of September, to
              VERNIE D. BYERS, of Minneapolis. He has occupied the position
              of president of the Anoka Street Fair Association since its
              inception some five years ago, and is affiliated with the
              Maccabees, K. P and R. A. fraternities, while Mrs. ABBETT is
              treasurer of the Anoka school district, having been chosen
              in 1902. Children, GLADYS and RUTH.
