After their marriage, the Griffins lived in Boston, Massachusetts, where they both studied Christian Science with Emily M. Meader, who was a student of Mary Baker Eddy's. Abbie joined The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston on December 31, 1892. She was also a member of the Christian Science Dispensary Association and was listed in The Christian Science Journal as a practitioner of Christian Science from 1895 through 1921. Abbie lived in Columbus, Ohio, from 1907 until 1913 and then moved to San Diego, California, where she lived until at least 1920.
