History

The Abdell Cemetery was originally located on the farm of George Abdell, who purchased the property in 1808. The land was subsequently sold in 1852 to Purnell Toadvine (wife Zepporah (Fooks) Toadvine) after George's death in 1840. Some sources have referred to this cemetery as the Toadvine cemetery or the Fooks cemetery. Toadvine descendants incorporated the cemetery as Abdell Cemetery in 1993.

Publications
