Charles W Abraham: Murder 1st degree

Charles W Abraham was born about 1887 in Syria.

Charles shot Mrs. Everett Poole 3 times then shot himself in the chest by survived.




1920 and 1930 Census he is in Washington State Prison. He eludes the 1940 census unless he went to Ohio, I found this.

I am not convinced, although he arrived here in 1935.

There is a Abraham family from Syria in Ohio, but I need more proof.

I made Charles a tree on Ancestry and will continue to work on it.



This is the building her shot and killed Mrs. Poole whom he accused of being deceitful and ruined him. What kind of a woman was she? Her husband was away when it happened. Was she seducing him or trying to deceive him in another way.

He had a brother in Sioux City, Iowa and a mother and sister who were alive at the time of the shooting.

Charles brother was George Abraham born about 1886 in Syria, his mother was Sadie Solomon who was a widow and married a Mr. Albert and had more children.

I searched for information on Mrs. Everett Poole and didn't find very much.

Time will tell and hopefully the answers will come.
