He removed to Ballston Spa about twenty years ago. He sustained a stroke of apoplexy about two weeks since.
Mr. Mabey is survived by his widow, who has been his faithful helpmate in his long years of adversity, one son, James L. Mabey, and one daughter, Mrs. Charles Van Buren, both of Ballston Spa.
The funeral of Benjamin R. Mabey will be held at the residence of his family on Saratoga avenue at 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, the Rev. A.C. Baldwin will officiate, a delegation of Civil War veterans will serve as bearers and he will be buried in the Village cemetery.
