Anecdote |
- Uz Mabee was born on May 29, 1882, the son of James Mabee and Mariette Leach. He was raised in Guysboro, Houghton Twp., Norfolk County. At Eden on March 30, 1921 he married his wife, Vera Wilson, when he was already 39 years of age. They lived for a time after their marriage above John McQuiggan's store in Straffordville. Then they moved to Lot 17, Con. 9, Bayham Twp., Elgin Co., Ont. (Maple Bluff) where he lived and farmed with his father, James. Uz also owned a truck with which he carted milk, tobacco, logs and fertilizer. There they raised a daughter, Jean, born in 1923, and a son, James, born in 1930.
Uz was killed and his wife gravely injured in an automobile accident on September 25, 1937. Uz, who was age 55 when he died, was buried in Eden Cemetery. He left behind a wife who struggled for years with the physical and mental trauma of the accident and a daughter, age 14, and a son, age 7, who had effectively lost both their parents.
