Absolam only lived to be age 27. Aunt Nevba Eller Ritz, said someonetold her mother there was a rumor that he might have been poisoned bydrinking water; but did not know any facts - there was no cause ofdeath listed at Court House at New Martinsville, Wetzel Co. I guessthis is just a "Grandmother's tale" and we will never know whether itwas deliberate by some unknown factor, or accidental - maybe neither.My dad, Berrell Eller never knew cause of death; or at least he nevermentioned it to me. Per Clarice V. Eller Stanley.
