Abram Mott Pratt was born in Es-
sex, Connecticut. He received pub
lie school education at his home
town and graduated from Will
iams College in the class of 1871.
After graduation he turned his atten-
tion to educational matters for some
years. His natural inclination to help
where help was most needed caused
him to take up the work Of teaching
the deaf, dumb and blind. He taught
in institutions Of this kind in Fari,
bault. Minnesota and Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. In recognition of his
success in this department of philan.
thropic education he was made prin
cipal of the Minnesota state institu-
tion for the Blind, which position he
held with credit for some years. Like
many other young men the wandering
microbe was in his brain and he start
ed west. He spent several years as
the manager of big sugar plantation
in the Hawaiian islands. After travel
ing extensively in this and other lands
he came to the Pecos Valley in the
fall of 1892, and engaged in the lumber
business. Since that time he has been
SO closely identified with the develop
ment of Carlsbad and that portion OF
the valley that its history is his biog
raphy. He retired from the lumber
business a few years ago and spent q
year or more in rest and travel. He
is now engaged in the hardware busi
ness in Carlsbad with w. A. Findlay
another New Mexico pioneer and Ma
son.
Mr.. Pratt is a militant Republican
and down in the southeast corner O
the territory with Texas on six sides
that means something. He has always
been actively engaged in the cam
paigns of his party and the few Repub
lican victories gained in that Demo
cratic stronghold have been largel,
the result of his shrewd and forcefu
,, management. He was elected count,
superintendent of schools although tn,
office was distinct loss to him in
business way. During his term he re
organized the schools of the county
increasing their number and etficienc
