  	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
