Life and records

Rockland News 11 Feb 1921: widow of Abram (~1884); 1890 veterans census Pvt Co. K 133 NY Inf.; Rockland County Journal 16 Aug 1884: died Fairview House Sunday evening last (≈10 Aug 1884), funeral Wednesday.

Also styled Abram Furman. Pvt Co. K 133rd New York Infantry (1890 veterans census). Death: Rockland County Journal 16 Aug 1884 — died Fairview House Sunday evening last (interpreted as 10 Aug 1884 relative to that Saturday issue); funeral Wednesday from late residence, Rev. Dr. C. E. Crispell. Rockland County Messenger 21 Aug 1884 says died 'last Monday after a long illness' (would be 18 Aug if literal) — date conflict retained; prefer Journal's Sunday+Wednesday funeral sequence. Widow Isabella's 11 Feb 1921 obit ('died thirty seven years ago') and 1890 veterans widow listing remain consistent. WikiTree birth 2 Sep 1844 still UNCONFIRMED (not independently fetched). Parents not found (WikiTree John Furman × Anna Smith Haring not entered). John Furman estate notice 19 Oct 1878 names administrators Anna R. Furman and Nicholas L. Furman — no children listed; not a parent lock for Abraham. 1921 obit names only one daughter and one son then living; WikiTree also lists a son Elbert, not entered (if real he was dead by Feb 1921).
