When Abigail Rowley was a baby, Mrs. Rowley was visiting a neighbor of the Kelloggs and Ebenezer called her the handsomest baby he had ever seen. He jokingly asked Mrs. Rowley if he might marry the girl if he would wait until she was of proper age, and Mrs. Rowley gave her consent.

When Ebenezer was old and infirm his wife was in the habit of shaving him, and one day he asked to be shaved at an unusual time. She said: "Why, today?" He replied, '"Because you can shave me better alive than dead." She asked, "What do you mean?" "I mean that I am to die tonight." She rallied him as being superstitious and called in a neighbor to cheer him, but he died that night sitting in his chair.
