• Obituary. ¹⁰⁰⁵⁸ At Royalton on the 1st inst, Col. John Mabee aged 57 years
The cause of his death was sad as it was unexpected. He was
crossing the mill-dam as was his daily custom and by slipping
or some other accident he was precipitated over the dam a
distance feet, the back part of the head striking upon a sharp
projecting rock which caused immediate death. The cries of a
small boy, and the howling of a favorite dog who passed from
the dam to his master below, indicating the peculiar
characteristics of that affectionate animal, first attracrwd
the attention of the men about the mill, but their assistance
was only to witness his last expiring breath.
Col. Mabee's parents were from Holland and settled near Little
Falls in this state where the subject of this notice was born
in 1781. The subsequently moved to Penfield where the father
purchased about 1700 acres of land, but soon after died.
Desputes and litigation deprived the family of all their
prospective wealth and when 18 years old, Col. Mabee commenced
the world for himself at Pittsford as a common laborer where he
continued to 1812 when he moved to this town and purchased A
few acres of land containing a Grist and Saw Mill and by
persevering industry and integrity he acquired a large landed
estate and owned several mills. Col. Mabee was one of the
oldest residents in this town and few survive him as
contemporaneous Pioneers of Holland Purchase. From a
comparitive wilderness he lived to see a dens population around
him, enjoying the comforts and happiness incident to a rural
district, and no one did more, or more willing contributed to
those elements of prosperity which are the enviable and
striking characteristics of Western New York
His patriotic devotion to his country and its institutions, his
honesty and fair dealing with his fellow man were his prominent
characteristics, and his death occasions irreparable loss to
his family, his neighbors , and to an extensive circle of
friends. His fureral was attended by a large concourse of
relatives and friends who evinced by their sympathetic tears,
the the deceased was the recipient of all ennobling attributes
of humanity, and it needs not the artistic chisel to express
upon inanimate marble that Col. Mabee was indeed an "honest
man" the noblest work of God.
