At least two other children escaped, apparently without injury. According to Granite County Sheriff Nick Munis, the children's mother was at the home of a neighbor when the fire started. The father was reportedly attending a miners union meeting. The two escaping the flames were Lenore, 13, and a younger sister. Mrs. Abbey reportedly had two of the couple's six children with her. Another daughter attends the State Training School in Boulder. The 13-year-old was hospitalized for shock and put under sedation. The fire, which started at about 10:45, raced through the wooden structure with such speed the house was engulfed in flames before it was reported to firemen. It quickly reduced the building to rubble and spread to an adjoining home, owned by Emery Carnegie, causing considerable damage. Stuart's body was found near the front entrance to the home, indicating he had attempted to escape. Authorities reported his body was burned beyond recognition. The body is in the Wilson Funeral Home. Munis said he had never seen a building go up in flames so rapidly. "It was as if the building had exploded," he said.

Philadelphia, on April ist, 1852. The house still stands, but it
has been altered within.
His father, William Maxwell Abbey
(1826-1897), was a Philadelphian of English and French extraction, who, after engaging
in various forms of business, had settled down to brokerage and commission agency. He was the fifth child of Roswell
Abbey (1789-1858), a typefounder, who spent much of his spare
time on the invention of new mechanism not only for printing but
for larger engineering purposes. Roswell Abbey was the first to
apply electrotyping to the production of the matrices used in type-founding, and he devoted years in an attempt to perfect an engine
driven by compressed gas an explosion during one of his experiments causing the injury that led to his death. From Roswell Abbey, beyond doubt, came much of his grandson Edwin's practical
adaptivity and his swift, decisive manipulative gifts. Writing of
his grandfather in later life Abbey, who admired him immensely,
says that he was an unworldly man, a constant dupe of the crafty,
and that he left a fine library. * " My grandmother " (Mr. J. E. Kelly thus quotes a remark made to him by Abbey)
" was one of the young girls who greeted Washington and strewed flowers in his
path
when he journeyed to New York to be inaugurated as first President." As this was
in 1787, Abbey must have meant great-grandmother, but we cannot know which one

By the age of 14, he started to study art and shortly thereafter attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. In 1870 Harper’s Weekly employed him as an illustrator. He was eventually commissioned to paint murals for the rotunda in the Capitol Building in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. These murals include The Apotheosis of Pennsylvania, Reading of the Declaration of Independence, and Penn’s Treaty with the Indians. Abbey completed the murals in 1908 and died in 1911 in London, England. Biography: Born Edwin Austin Abbey in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on April 1, 1852, to William Maxwell Abbey and Margery Ann Abbey, Edwin quickly became learned in art. At the early age of 14 he started to study under a fellow Philadelphian, Isaac L. Williams, as a portrait and landscape painter. He studied there for two years before getting an apprentice draftsman position, as per the wishes of his father, with the publishing firm Van Ingen & Snyder. At the same time he took night classes at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, his first formal arts school; this also turned out to be his last. At the age of 19 (1870), Abbey had his first drawing published in Harper’s Weekly, titled The Puritans’ First Thanksgiving. Shortly thereafter he was hired by Harper & Brothers publishing company based out of New York City as an illustrator. By 1878, he had fallen into the graces of those in charge of Harper’s and was sent to England to research Robert Herrick’s poetry in order to compose illustrations for them. While there, he spent time in Stratford-on-Avon where he gained an appreciation for Shakespeare, something that would prove to be beneficial later in his career. For the next several years Abbey toured Europe studying different styles of painting. Throughout the rest of his career, Abbey would spend time traveling back and forth between his house in England and New York, where he had ties to the Harper’s Publishing Company. In 1883 he was elected to the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colour, an honor he would not have received without studying in Europe. In 1885, Abbey exhibited his first drawing at the Royal Academy in London. Two years later Abbey started to illustrate the comedies of Shakespeare for Harper’s. In 1889 Abbey won a first class medal from the Paris Exhibition for his drawings from Old Songs. By 1892, Abbey started to travel, gathering research for what could be considered his most important works, The Quest for the Holy Grail Murals in Boston. In order to do this, he traveled all over Germany. Abbey was able to complete the first half of The Quest by 1895, the same year he was elected as an honorary member of American Society of Architects and as an Associate of the Royal Water Colour Society. In the next few years Abbey exhibited many of his works from his Shakespeare series in the Royal Academy. Also during this time, he was awarded the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts Gold Medal of Honor for his distinguished career. In 1901 the second half of The Quest is completed and installed in the Boston Library. The following year he was awarded an honorary LL.D. by The University of Pennsylvania, as well as being appointed the official court painter of the King’s coronation in Westminister Abbey by Edward VII. Abbey also accepted a commission to decorate the new capitol building for Pennsylvania in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, this same year. The decorations were displayed in London prior to being installed in the rotunda in Harrisburg in 1908. Three years later, in 1911, after several months of sickness, Abbey succumbed to illness in London. He died on August 1, 1911, at the age of 59. Abbey’s murals in the Capitol Building in Harrisburg show different aspects of life that are important to the state, including steelworkers, The Declaration of Independence, and many historical figures. These include historical figures such as Benjamin Franklin, William Penn, and Daniel Boone. Abbey was first known for his illustrations, although he was a prominent water color painter as well. His most notable illustrations were for the Shakespearean plays that were included in Harper’s Weekly. He later used his illustrations as inspiration for his water color paintings such as May Day Morning. His illustrations for the Shakespearean comedies also poured over into his works with oil. Several of his paintings came from this, the most known being Hamlet, The Queen in Hamlet, and Richard, Duke of Gloucester, and the Lady Anne. Works:
