Biography

Nendick Abraham was apprenticed to a firm of architects at the age of fourteen and was offered a partnership in the firm five years later. However, he declined the offer in favour of studying for the Christian ministry. In 1880 he came to the Cape of Good Hope and settled in Cape Town. About three years later he returned to England for a brief period and married Florence A. Angle, with whom he eventually had four children. Upon their return to the Cape Colony they settled in Grahamstown, where Abraham worked as a minister of the Wesleyan Methodist Church of South Africa from about 1884 to May 1889, when he moved to Somerset East. He returned to Grahamstown before 1903, but in July 1905 left the town for the second time. Thereafter his activities appear to have been confined to Natal. By 1908 he was a minister at "Greytown to York", a township some 30 km from Pietermaritzburg, and he was still there by 1911. In the early nineteen-twenties he was living in Pietermaritzburg. He was much loved and respected in the various towns in which he worked.[1]
