body: Biographical Note Poem by Barbara Abel, October 16, 1952 Writer, editor, and public relations specialist Barbara Abel was born on January 5, 1895, in Elizabethtown, New York. She was the second daughter of Lucinda Pond and William H. Abel, who worked for the railroad in Chicago. Abel's mother journeyed from Chicago to Elizabethtown, the family's home in the Adirondacks, for the births of both Barbara and her sister.

In 1945 she returned to New York City to take the job of Public Relations Director for the Community Chests and Councils of the U.S.A.
