Description: Clarence Frederick ABBOTT, nine years old, measuring himself against the big tree in front of the Abbott farm. The wooden building is probably the log cabin in which Edward Adolph ABBOTT and the other children of Christopher/Christian ABICHT/ABBOTT and Magdalena Caroline SCHMELTZ ABICHT/ABBOTT were born. The structure behind the tree is the spring house. This spring is now beneath the Embassy Apartment building on Beverly Road, Mt. Lebanon, Pittsburgh, PA.

The other siblings of Edward born in cabin were:
Caroline ABBOTT SCHMELZ
August ABBOTT
Amelia ABBOTT WISE
Katherine "Kate" ABBOTT GOEDDEL
Charles "Charley" ABBOTT
Elizabeth ABBOTT KUHLMAN
Anna ABBOTT DOERR

The two youngest were born after farmhouse was built.
