  Obituary	12 Jan 1892	New York City, New York   [12]
  	John Mabie, one of the pioneer gold pen and pencil makers of this country and founder of the firm of Mabie, Todd & Bard, 198 Broadway, died on Saturday of the grip in his country home at Fairview, N.J. Mr. Mabie was seventy-three years old, and was born in this city. He learned the trade of a gold pen and pencil maker with Addison, Wilmarth & Co., in Spring Street. Subsequently he became foreman for and then a partner of John A. Rauch, in the same business, in Cortlandt Street. In 1853 he established the firm of Mabie, Knapp & McGovern, the other partners being John H. Knapp and John McGovern. After several years, Mr. Knapp withdrew. The company then became Mabie, Smith & Co. by the admission of William H. Smith and Edward Todd. Then George W. Todd joined the firm and its name was changed to Mabie, Todd & Co. in 1857. Mr. Mabie withdrew from active business seventeen years ago, but retained his interest in the name of his two sons, who represented him. Recently the firm became Mabie, Todd & Bard. Mr. Mabie lived in Brooklyn, Eastern District, a long time, but moved to Fairview, then called English Neighborhood, by order of his physician, thirty years ago. He traveled extensively in Europe and elsewhere. He leaves a large estate. Mr. Mabie was twice married. His second wife survives, and there are four living children by the first wife. The funeral service will be held at the Reformed Church, Ridgefield, N.J., today, at 2:30 o'clock P.M.
