Miss Abbott Delights Moline With Charity Boat Club Show
Wednesday evening in Moline featured Miss Abbott in a largely well received boat club entertainment at the Sylvan Boat Club. She sang several pieces off the program including Auld Lang Syne and Home Sweet Home, while Brignoli Ferranti and William Case accompanied. A bouquet from Mr and Mrs Wheelock and a gift from the Sylvan Boat Club marked the event, with audience tears at the old song. The piece concludes with a note on potential Moline representation at the royal agricultural society meeting in Liverpool and thanks from the Concordia-Germania Turner Society for Wheelock donations to the Public Library.

Abbott comes to Moline in 1866 to seek aid and Europe bound
A historical sketch details Edith Abbott, a penniless young singer from Chicago who arrives in Moline in 1866 to perform for her mother. Supported by Mrs Wheelock and Mr Deere, she begins concerts, endears herself to locals, and pins hopes on Europe while recounting kindness from Deere, Wheelock, and others amid early career struggles.
