ABELN, Anthony P. (Steinfield, Germany, Nov. 2, 1866-Dubuque, IA, Oct. 12, 1935). Dean of Dubuque's abstractors. Abeln was recognized locally as an expert on real estate laws and titles. He came to Dubuque in 1884 and began a life-long career as an abstractor in the office of George Salot. Abeln served as a deputy in the offices of the county treasurer, district court clerk, and county recorder before opening his own abstract office in the 1890s.
