Born in Juniata County, Pa., on Feb. 28, 1825, Abraham Given married Rebecca J. Smith, of Wooster, O., on June 10, 1858, and settled in Frankfort, Ind., in 1860.

Here, in partnership with his brother Alex, he opened a general store, which was sold in 1867. Mr. Given then went into partnership with three other men to organize the International Bank, which in 1871 was merged into the First National Bank, of which he later became president, serving until 1885 when he resigned because of ill health.

He died on Dec. 1, 1895, and was buried at Frankfort .
