In May 1873 a reporter from the Barnsley Chronicle produced a report  which is reprinted in "Cawthorne 1790-1990 A Yorkshire Village Remembers Its Past" pp30-31.
Over a hundred years later Abel was finally given some recognition see:
Barnsley Chronicle
Abel lived in Dark or Black Lane in the 1880's in Cawthorne this is probably Brook House, see photo in 1890's.

His last painting  in 1871  was of a "Dead Snipe". Abel was described in 1882 as an artist!!
He was never a rich man, if he had to pay his bills he sent a painting of a starving man to Charles Wemyss the estate agent at  The Cannon Hall Estate Office which always produced the required result.
The Reverend Charles Spencer-Stanhope befriended Abel.
As a result of this aquaintance Walter Spencer-Stanhope , the owner of Cannon Hall Estates, became Abel's patron.
