DEATH OF
GEO. H. MABEE
Tillsonburg, 20 Dec 1918 --
The death of Geo. Henry Mabee occurred at the home of his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. C. H. Mabee, on Wednesday evening.
A week ago, Mr. Mabee was
injured by being thrown from his buggy. He was driving north on the
Ingersoll road, and as he approached the M.C.R. crossing, his horse
was startled by a passing train and turning sharply, overturned the
vehicle, Mr. Mabee being thrown out..
The horse ran back as far as
Mr. Cody's farm and entered the barnyard, where it was caught. Mr.
Mabee was picked up and brought to his home by Alf. Downing of Mt.
Elgin, who was coming into town in his auto.
Mr. Mabee was 72 years old,
and though he did not seem badly hurt, was unable to withstand the
shock.
The funeral took place this
afternoon. Deceased was a son of the late O.P.Mabee, and had lived
all his life in the township, where he was widely known.
He was a prominent Liberal
party worker.
