Mr. Tyrus
Mabee, a resident of Simcoe for the last few years, died on Friday in
his 72nd year. Some months ago he suffered a stroke, and although he
partially recovered from this, never really regained his health.
A few days before Christmas
however, he was able to go to meet his son who was coming home for the
holiday.
He was a native of
Charlotteville township, living there until he came to Simcoe. In
politics he was a Conservative, and was an Anglican.
His wife was Miss Hannah Belle
McCall, a sister of Senator McCall and Mr. Walter McCall, both of
Simcoe. She survives, together with one son Keith of Smith's Falls,
and four daughters:
Miss Harrie, until recently of the Boston General
Hospital Staff,
Maud, Mrs. W. Howes, of Townsend,
Carrie, Mrs. Sidney
Hancock, of Woodhouse,
Norma, Mrs. Andrews of Townsend.
Mrs. Weeks,
another daughter, died several years ago.
The funeral was held on Sunday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, at Mr. Mabee's late residence, Dean Street,
Rev. A. B. Farney, rector of Trinity, reading the service. The bearers
were Keith Mabee of Smith's Falls, Delbert T. McCall of Simcoe, W.
Howes and H. Andrews of Townsend, Oliver Walsh of Vittoria, and
Wallace Walsh of Simcoe.
Mr. Mabee was a member of an
old Norfolk family, his father being Gabriel Mabee of Charlotteville.
