Magdalena Schmeltz Abbott's Candlestick
 |
| Magdalena Schmeltz Abbott's Metal Candlestick. When Clarence and Ruth Geyser Abbott lived in the Abbott farmhouse, they found this candlestick in the attic. Ruth asked Clarence's brothers and sisters if they knew anything about it. None of them had seen it. So, Charlotte concluded that the candlestick had not been used by Clarence's parents, Edward and Elizabeth Jacob Abbott. It must have belonged to his grandparents, Christian and Magdalena Schmeltz Abbott. Charlotte Abbott Dudt Collection. |
