Abel Gudmund Gudmundsen was the eldest child of Abraham Gudmundsen. His mother was Sarah Jane Evans, who died shortly after giving birth to her third child, Mary Jane, in 1888. Abel was not quite three years old. Between Abel and Mary Jane was a brother, Isaac, born 1887 and deceased 1889.
Abel's birthday is 23 November 1885, and he was born in Lehi, Utah where his father had numerous business ventures. Work I find for Abel are Assistant Chief Sampler at Utah Copper Company in Magna and Accountant, listed on his death certificate. He served the Federal Government through the Internal Revinue Service, according to the US Federal Census of 1930 and 1940.
Abel's father Abraham married again in 1895, to Letitia Austin and this marriage brought five additional siblings.
Abel married first at age 21, on March 13, 1907, Mary Jane Wall. After divorcing, his second marriage was to Florence Springer. There were nine children from these marriages, the ninth by Florence. The eldest, Alta Celia preceded Abel in death.
Abel's death came in Lehi on September 9, 1946 after suffering from angina pectoris. He is buried in Mt Olivet Cemetery in Salt Lake City. (A note that points out this writer's connections in Lehi, the mortician who served Abel in the end was Millen Kirkham, a cousin on another line.)
