Abraham Cahill was an attorney who graduated from Wittenberg College in
Springfield, OH, with the class of 1855, then studied law with Osborn of
Dayton, OH.
Cahill was born __ __ 1830 at Bucyrus, OH, to Richard Wallace and Eliza
(Cummins) Cahill.
While in Dayton he lived with a Wittenberg classmate and married Gebhart's
relative, L[ucinda] Catherine Gebhart (Montgomery County, OH, license issued
July 25, 1861).
Tragically, Abraham (1830-1868), an attorney, and his wife L(ucinda)
Catherine Gebhart (1835-1864) of Dayton died young, both of consumption.
Abraham Cahill and his wife are buried at Woodland Cemetery, Dayton, OH, in
Lot 49, section 66, on Augustus Gebhart's lot with many other Gebharts.
Buried with Abraham and Catherine is a RICHARD W. CAHILL who died September
20, 1884 at age 22y 2mo. He was born in Dayton, OH, according to the
Montgomery Co Death Records. Is this their son? Did they have other
children?
Abraham's death record says he was married. Did he marry a second time?
The large volume on Gebhart genealogy by Julia Hagwood of Dayton, OH, is
silent on both issues.
