The following news article was printed in the Kankakee newspaper on April 2, 1874.

"Suicided."

We are informed that a man named Mabee, a man of considerable wealth, residing with Mr. Geo. Pummell, near Sugar Island, Iroquois County, cut his throat with a razor, on Thursday, 19th ult., and expired in a few minutes after the terrible act. Mr. Pummell was absent on business at the time, and Mrs. P., on hearing a strange sound proceeding from the unfortunate man's room, hastened thither only to find him stretched upon the floor, with three horrid gashes across his throat, and in the last agonies of death. Mr. M. had been sick for some time, but was slowly recovering, yet it is supposed that he became discouraged and low spirited in view of his condition, and, preferring death to such a life, committed the rash act. It is reported that, during his illness, he one day remarked to the family that he did not see why his life should be taken by inches, and that he had rather die at once and be done with it.  Such a state of mind easily accounts for the manner of his "taking off." It is said that he owned a large amount of real estate, most of which had been deeded to Mr. Pummell in consideration of taking care of and providing a pleasant home for Mr. M. during his lifetime. We do not learn that he had any near relatives, nor whence he came, nor his age. We are told that he was much respected, and was a kindhearted, upright man.

Simon Mabee outlived all but one of his 11 children. The only child who
 may have survived him was Pinckney, his eldest son, who lived in Missouri.
 All of the Mabee family gravestones in the Beaver Creek Cemetery are designed
 in the same style; for this reason, it is assumed that these stones were purchased
 by Simon Mabee himself.
