Acquainted as he was with the difficulties, which confronted our early civic fathers in connection with the formation of streets and channels, and in generally restoring order where the surface had been mutilated by the operations of the diggers, Mr. Abbott, in viewing the city in its fairer 20th century aspect, was able to look back with a considerable degree of pride upon the achievements of the intervening years. In view of Mr. Abbott's early connection with the municipal life of Bendigo, it was well that he should have died in harness.

In his politics he was decidedly more liberal than the majority in that branch of the legislature, and his influence was generally exerted in favor of liberal legislation, although at the same time ho did not favor the crude and ill digested schemes which are sometimes put forward as a step towards the political millennium. Mr. Abbott was Democratic enough, however, to perceive that the crusted Conservatism which distinguished so many members of the Upper House was distasteful to the great majority of the people, and a hindrance to the State's advancement.

It is certain, however, that Mr. Abbott will be best remembered, not so much for his civic and Parliamentary services - meritorious as they undoubtedly were - as for the work he performed in connection with our local institutions, and more especially the Hospital Sunday movement. He was identified with the Bendigo Hospital board of management for a far longer period than any other citizen, and the work he has done for that institution alone would entitle him to grateful remembrance. He was also a prominent member of the administrative council of the School of Mines, a member of the committee of the Art Gallery - in fact, there is scarcely an institution in our midst with which he was not at one period of his career associated. The Hospital Sunday movement in Bendigo, and, indeed, in Australia, was inaugurated by Mr. Abbott thirty-one years ago, and he continued to be the guiding and controlling hand so far as Bendigo was concerned right down to the day of his death. To initiate what has become an important established institution in our midst was an achievement of which Mr. Abbott had reason to be proud. The Hospital and Asylum have benefited largely by the Hospital Sunday movement, and itis no light tribute to the earnestness and thoroughness which characterised Mr. Abbott's large-hearted efforts as honorary secretary when we point out that the movement has been carried through for thirty-one years almost entirely without expense. Mr. Abbott will be remembered with gratitude for his lengthy public services; but there can be no greater or more enduring memorial of his life than the Hospital Sunday movement, which, perhaps, more than anything else, has stimulated the springs of benevolence in our midst, and aroused an earnest interest in our charitable institutions. Taking him all in all, Mr. Abbott was a sterling, upright and honorable citizen, who in his day recognised to the full his duty to the community in which he lived, and strove manfully to discharge it, and he must have experienced the satisfaction of knowing before he died that the place in which he had spent more than half a century of his life had benefited largely by his exertions.<ref>Bendigo Advertiser, Friday 11 November 1904 p 2; Pioneers of Bendigo compiled by Barbara Poustie 2020 https://www.bendigohistory.com/pioneersofbendigo/ Page 2 of 30</ref></div></td></tr>
