- Dr. William A. Mabie, for nearly 48 years a prominent practicing dentist of Amsterdam, died suddenly Sunday at 12:30 A. M. at his home, 280 Guy Park Avenue.
Dr. Mabie was born at South Valley, Otsego County, September 30, 1880, a son of William H. and Effie (Bellinger) Mabie. He was graduated from the Cobleskill High School and from the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery at Baltimore, Md., in 1903, coming to Amsterdam in July of that year. He immediately engaged in the practice of dentistry with Dr. P. R. Skinner and this relationship was maintained for a period of seven years. For the same length of time he practiced alone in offices on Guy Park Avenue and East Main Street and in July, 1915, formed a partnership with Dr. John C. Ruman, who became the junior member of the firm. Their offices were located at 39 Market Street and later this partnership was discontinued.

Dr. Mabie was active in Masonic circles for a number of years, being a member of the Blue Lodge
chapter, Commandery and Shrine and was president of the Masonic Club in 1909 and 1910. He served as master of Artisan Lodge, 84, F. and A. M., in 1910 and also as a trustee of the lodge.
A member of the Board of Trustees of the Amsterdam City Hospital, he was also, a member of the Antlers Country Club and his professional relations were with the county, state and national dental associations. He was a member of the Second Presbyterian Church and served on the Board of Trustees of that church for a number of years.
