  	William Mabee, the oldest child and son of John and Ann Mabee, of Sussex County, New Jersey was born in said county and state on March 8, 1822. He was the only son of a family of five children all of whom are now dead except two sisters, Annie Bowdoin of Rahway, New Jersey, and Susan Williams of Chicago, Illinois. He came from New Jersey to Defiance, Ohio in 1844, returned to New Jersey in 1846 and in November 1846 returned again to Defiance, Ohio. He was a Mexican soldier and volunteered under President Polk's administration. He enlisted at Toledo, Ohio, in March 1847, and went to Mexico with the army. He was wounded at battle in Mexico on August 20, 1847 and was in the hospital six weeks. (He) was finally honorably discharged from the service in the city of Mexico on December 9, 1847, when he returned to New Jersey. He was married in Sussex County, New Jersey, his old home, to Catharine Peters on Nov. 2, 1849, where his oldest child, Joseph Mabee was born. He moved with his young family about March 20, 1854 to Defiance, Ohio where he lived till in the fall of that year. He then started for Indiana and came by canal boat from Defiance, Ohio to Peru, Indiana and finally landed in Martinsville, Indiana, November 17 of that year. He lived in Martinsville till December 1865, when he bought the farm three miles northeast of Martinsville, and lived there until June 28, 1898, at which time he and his wife went to live with their daughter, Mrs. Eli Thomas, near the place of their old country home. They lived with the other daughter, Mrs. Ezra Dyer, where his most estimable wife died October 3, 1901 and where he remained until his death, which occurred at 1:15 a.m. Monday, May 21, 1906. He was a carpenter by trade and many of the oldest and most substantial and prominent residences and other buildings in the city of Martinsville are the work of his hands. He was elected assessor of Washington Township in 1882 and served a full term. His official life was one marked with nobility, integrity and honor, both to himself and to the people whom he served. He and his wife were blessed with eight children, 4 boys and 4 girls, three dying in infancy and one daughter Katie who married George Bergman, died near the old home about 22 years ago. The remaining children two boys and two girls, namely: Jacob Mabee of Indianapolis, Abraham Mabee of Charleston, Illinois, Mrs. Lizzie Thomas, and Mrs. Sarah Dyer reside near the old home place. He left surviving him these four children, fourteen grandchildren and great grandchildren. Such in brief is the life of William Mabee. He was one of the pioneers of this county. He leaves a legacy of a well-spent, long and honorable life. The funeral will be held at the Ezra Dyer home Wednesday afternoon at 1:30. Burial at Hilldale cemetery.
