First appearance: I: Scenes of My Childhood
As a supporting figure in The Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge, Abbie Moor is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Coolidge's mother, whose early death impacted him deeply.
Abbie Moor belongs to the Plymouth years, part of the family world Coolidge reconstructs through graveyards, farms, and ancestral names. Her loss shapes the emotional undertow of his recollections, though he treats it with characteristic restraint. She matters because she is the absent center of the childhood chapters — the person whose death helps explain the boy's gravity.
