From page 188 of the Bartholomew book. Abiel was born 2 Apr., 1764; married 14 Apr., 1785, Mary, daughter of David Hungerford. Mr. Bartholomew moved from Waterbury with his brothers to Trumbull Co., Ohio, in 1804. He settled in Vienna, where he was killed by a limb of a tree which he was felling, striking him on the head. It was the first death in the new settlement and his remains were the first interred in its cemetery. The historian of the town, mentioning the event, said that the Bartholomews, from their ready ingenuity and mechanical skill, as well as their society, were a great addition to the community. But one of the sad, inscrutable providences which occur sometimes in life, was destined to deprive the commonwealth of one of its best and most useful members. His brother Seth, Dying of fever soon after, left the young families unprotected; but bowed forms, shattered nerves, and hardened hands show how their children met the emergency which they mastered. Mrs. Mary is said to have taught the first school in the portion of Trumbull County in which they settled.
