- William Mabie (8 Apr 1839-14 Aug 1901)
William Mabie, of Peekskill, N. Y., joined the Society, June 10, 1897, and died August 14, 1901. He was the son of Hiram and Mary Smith Mabie, and was born at Shrub Oak, Westchester County, New York, April 8, 1839. His education was acquired at the Shrub Oak School and the Peekskill Military Academy.
Mr. Mabie when he came to Peekskill, a lad of ten years, resided with his parents on the corner of South Division and Elizabeth streets. Later, when married, he lived in Second Street. On January 2, 1880, he purchased from the Peekskill Savings Bank the homestead on Elm and Fremont streets, where he spent the last years of his busy and eventful life.
In 1868, with Stephen D. Horton, he bought the Fire-brick Works on Water Street, and the firm of Horton & Mabie became known all over this country in stove circles. He retired from this firm in September, 1898. His last business venture was in the real estate and insurance business.
He was also from time to time connected with other business enterprises as side issues, and was, in January, 1887, appointed by the Supreme Court as receiver for the firm of Montross & Lent, which was dissolved at that time. Mr. Mabie handled the receivership with consummate skill.
In politics Mr. Mabie was an unswerving Democrat, as were his ancestors before him. Twenty years ago he was a power in the Democratic ranks of northern Westchester County and prominent in its councils. He was for many years a member of the Democratic village and town committees, ofttimes chairman of one or both; a delegate to village, town, county, assembly, senatorial, district, and other conventions over and over again. In a Democratic gathering the pleasant face and the warm, extended hand of William Mabie was always seen and felt.
He was elected Trustee of the Village of Peekskill, and Treasurer; Supervisor for four terms of the Town of Cortlandt; Superintendent of the Poor for the County of Westchester, and Water Commissioner; and in all these offices served with zeal and fidelity.
He was chosen a Trustee of the Peeskkill Military Academy in January, 1881, and was reelected in 1884, 1887, and 1890. His last term expired in January, 1893, and he declined a reelection.
He was elected a Trustee of the Peekskill Savings Bank, May 14, 1875, and served with fidelity until August 21, 1893, eighteen years, when he resigned.
He joined the Second Presbyterian Church, February 20, 1871, and took his letter therefrom March 21, 1882.
He became a member of the First Presbyterian Church by letter, May 12, 1882, and was always active in its work, attentive upon its worship, and devoted to the cause of Christianity. He was a trustee of the church ten years, from 1882 until 1892. He was elected an elder, April 28, 1889, and held that office at the time of his death.
Mr. Mabie married Anne Denike, daughter of Jacob and Alletta Denike, April 27, 1864, who survives him. The surviving children are three: Dr. Austin D. Mabie, of New York; Louis Ferris Mabie, of Peekskill; and Miss Jennie Louise Mabie, who lives at home with her mother.
Mr. Mabie was a gentleman of the old school, unostentatious, retiring, peaceful, and law-abiding; of unsullied honor, sterling integrity, and most correct habits; against his character naught could be said. He was a man of large mould and kindly nature. He had won successes in life, and although reverses came in later years, his heart was enlarged in kindliness towards others, and stimulated others to well-doing. He had great courage and forcefulness, and had the strong, sturdy characteristics of his race. And yet "His life was gentle, and the elements So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, 'This was a man.'"
In Memoriam.
