Note: Abraham lived in Napanoch, where four generations of his ancestors had preceded him. He was a man of sterling qualities and did much for the neighborhood in which he lived. He was one of the principal supporters of the Dutch Reformed Church of Napanoch where he was affectionately known as "Deacon Abe," a position he was elected to in 1840. In 1850, a new plank road was to be built in the vicinity and Abraham was called upon to preside at the meetings in which this matter was discussed.
He was the author of the narrative "The Indians," which is a description of the massacres that took place during the Revolutionary War around Wawarsing. This book was published in 1846 and has been prized as a narrative of the time. His name was spelled Abram G. Bevier on the census of 1850. Following, is a tribute to Abraham written for a local newspaper by C. L. Climp 31 Mar 1862.

Dear brother he has gone before and early gained the Elysian shore.
Where the friends of Jesus all shall meet and kindred souls each other greet.
We'll miss him at the hour of prayer - at the village church we'll miss him there.
We feel the loss of that sweet smile, which weary hours did once beguile.
His father's house - oh lonely place since there no more we see his face;

The flowers that in the dooryard grew, on his new made grave we'll gladly strew.
But faded now, since he is dead - like morning dew their tears they shed.
The birds that sing at dawn of day, and carol forth their evening lay.
No more can touch that home to cheer, here once his voice sang sweet and clear.
But wherefore should we thus complain? He's gone before, we'll meet again.
Where kindred ties no hand can sever and we shall part no more forever."
