- Sudden Death of John Mabee, Jr
John, or "Pud" Mabee, as he had been more familiarly known from his childhood, died of apoplexy at the home of his parents, in this village, at about 3:30 o'clock6 on Thursday afternoon last, aged 46 years and 10 months. He had but the evening previous returned home from a week's visit among acquaintances in Paterson and New York, and retired shortly after. Thursday morning he arose at an early hour and remained about the village until about 7 o'clock, then wended his way home and went to his room and to bed. It was known that he was feeling unwell and weary and he was not disturbed, until some hours after, when he was found to be in a comatose state. When his Condition was discovered speedy efforts were made for his relief, but without avail, and at the hour named life was extinct.
He was born in this village and enjoyed for a few years of his youth the educational advantages offered by our village school. At suitable age he was apprenticed to the tinsmith's trade which he followed as a journeyman for a brief period, and then abandoned for railroading, serving both upon the Erie and the Warwick Valley roads, and in this occupation he became very proficient. After a term of years at this he gave it np and had for a number of years been engaged again mainly as a tinsmith.
He was a most genial, companionable and quick witted young man, and when at his best was the life and soul of a company. Ever quick at repartee and with an inexhaustible fund of anecdotes he had hosts of friends. He was a staunch member of the Republican party and ever alert to defend its principles when they were assailed. He was unmarried, and is survived by his aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Mabee. His brothers, Conductor T. G. Mabee, Will O. Mabee and James D., formerly foreman of the Advertiser office, and five sisters survive him.
The funeral services, which were held at the home of the deceased on Sunday afternoon, were conducted by the Rev. Arthur Thompson of the M. E. Church this .village, and were largely attended. The remains were interred in the Warwick

- Another resident octogenarian has gone with the shades of the departing year. Mr. John Mabee, a native and nearly life-long resident of this village, departed this life peacefully, though rather unexpectedly sudden, at his home on Hudson st, on Saturday morning, December 20, in his 81st year, he having been born August 6, 1810, and at the homestead where he died. He had all his life enjoyed good health until about a year ago, when in alighting from a wagon at the postoffice, he missed his footing and fell heavily across a wheel, striking his breast and side, and was injured to such an extent thereby that he never fully recovered either his former vigor or from the shock occasioned. These injuries, and the infirmities incident to his advanced years, and the farther fact that since the sudden death, a few months ago, of his son John he had sorely grieved over that affliction, tended no doubt to shorten his span of life, which, but for them, might have been spared to his loving family another decade or more.
Mr. Mabee was, as we have stated, born in this village, and, excepting several of his early years spent in New York oity at his trade of tailoring, and a few months at the same occupation in New Orleans, had always resided here. He was married some 52 years ago in New York city to Miss Elizabeth Bodine, a native of Montgomery, who survives him, with whom and their numerous family of children and grandchildren gathered together beneath the parental roof, they had two simmers ago celebrated in a most joyous manner their golden wedding.
Mr. Mabee followed his trade until about 20 years ago, and then gave it np to engage in the retail grocery business, which latter he conduced for several years, in the meanwhile frequently being elected to the offices respectively of village collector, town poormaster and constable, the latter two of which he held for 18 consecutive years, notwithstanding he was a Republican and this a Democratic town. He was for about 30 years an honored member of Warwick Lodge F. & A. M., and filled the position of Chaplain in that organization for many years. He had also for many years been a worthy member of the M. E. Church here. He was naturally bright, vigorous, and intelligent for a man whose lot it was not to enjoy many educational advantages, but he was a great reader, a student of man and nature, and acquired a most valuable fund of information that many more highly favored ones will never possess. He was open-hearted and handed, and the soul of geniality, and ever had hosts of friends. He had a quick and retentive memory and was considered an encyclopedia of local history and biography, as many can testify.
Of his immediate family there survive him, beside his widow, the following children: Conductor Thomas G., of Suffern, N. Y.; William 0.,of Fishkill; James D., of New York city; Hester, wife of W. P. Macornal, of Newburgh, N. Y.; Maggie, wife of Ora Simpson, of McAfee, N. J., and Mary, Catherine and Alice at home; also; ten grandchildren. He was much loved, at home.

- Mrs Elizabeth Bodine Mabee, mother of conductor Thomas G Mabee, and of James D Mabee, of Greenwood Lake, died Wednesday, at Warwick. She was aged 72 years. Mr Mabee died in December last, and it is thought the shock of their son John's death, last September hastened both father and mother to the grave. Heart trouble and pneumonia caused Mrs Mabee's death. The funeral will occur Saturday.

- Mr Thomas G Mabie died at his home in Pine Bush at 7 o'clock, this morning, after an illness of about a year, during which time he has been confined to his home. Liver trouble with the usual complications caused his illness. He has been a great sufferer, but was one of the busiest of men and kept and kept up his courage when most men would have given up entirely. He knew that it was only a question of time when death would claim him, but he had repeatedly rallied from these attacks and expected to do so again, and until recently old friends hoped to see him about again.
Mr Mabie was born in Warwick, and was a son of John Mabie. He was a member of the Orange Blossoms and served throughout the war, going in as Sergeant of Co. D – Capt Renedict's company. He was made Sergeant Major of the company in the field, and before leaving the service received his commission as Second Lieutenant.
After his return from the war he married a Miss Pierson of Warwick, who died a short time after their marriage. He was in business in New York about three years after his return from the war, and then came to this city and carried on the grocery business in he store now occupied by Pronk & Foster, corner of East Main and Roberts streets.
In 1870 he engaged in railroading and has since been employed by the Erie, and most of the time has been a conductor on the eastern division of its branches. For several years he ran the Crawford train. He was known and liked by all the railroad men, and many others in Middletown, Port Jervis, Pine Bush, and in fact all along the eastern division.
Mr Mabie was married several years ago to Sarah Watson, of Shohola, a most estimable lady, who has cared for him in his long illness. They have no children.
The funeral will be held from his late residence at 1:30 o'clock, Monday afternoon. The interment will be at Warwick Cemetery, Tuesday morning. The funeral party will go there in a special coach attached to the morning on the Crawford branch which will be transferred to the Mountain Express at this city
