Isaac Abbey

Isaac Abbey was born 1838 in Port Hope, Durham Co., Ontario, Canada, and died October 9, 1865, in Mobile, AL, at about age 27. He was the son of Nathaniel Abner Abbey of Canada and Mary Nugent of County Cavan, Ireland.

He enlisted in the Union Army during the Civil War as a member of the 14th Wisconsin Infantry and, with the exception of the Battle of Tupelo, participated in every engagement with his regiment until the close of the war. He had escaped death or injury from bullets, but on the day on which his regiment was discharged, he died from the disease caused by the hardships and exposure incident to army life. He died in Mobile, AL and is buried in the National Cemetery near that city.
