John B. Nabb

Mr.. John B. Nabb, a widely known
and prominent citizen, died at noon
today at his residence 52S West End
Avenue, in Cambridge. For many
months he had been in declining
health. and for several weeks had
Ueen confined to his home under the
care of DR.. john Mace, his physi-
elan, and Of his sister, Miss Ella
Nabb, who lives with him. The de-
ceased was sevanty-seven years of
age.
Mr.. Nabb was born and reared IN
Talbot County, Maryland, his father
being farmer in that county.
After attending the public schools,
he went TO Washington College.
Chestertown, from which institution
lie graduated. About the close OF
The Civil War, he removed from Tai
bot to Dorchester county, and was
employed icr several years as
teacher of the school at Bucktown.
Bc also taught school at Airey. In
1867 he married Miss Sarah Prit-
CEett Meredith, the daughter of
Thomas NJ. Meredith, Esq, and short
! thereafter he entered upon the oc
-upatiOn OF farming, taking charge
u OHt VI HIS IdlIleI -lu-ldW ldIIilS,
III Bucktown Election District, and
later remoI ed TO a farm near East
New Market. About 1880 he remoY-
ed to "Northyarmouth" a large and
fine tract of land, which was devised
to his wife by her father, and con-
tinued to reside there continuously
until his removal to Cambridge
few years ago. Mr.. Nabb greatly
improved this farm, when is now
owned by his son, Mr.. George B.
Nabb. He enjoyed deservedly the
reputation of being q skillful intelli-
gent, and successful farmer, and
managed his land with good judg-
nIent.
In politics Mr.. Nabb was an ardent
Democrat, and always took an active
interest in public affairs though he
was never a candidate for public Of
fee, and never held any except the
POSITION of crier of the Circuit Court
for Dorchester County, to which he
was first appointed by the late Judge
lanes A. Stewart. He held ~t 1919
position for a long number of years
and he filled it efficiently and court
eouSly during this period. Mr.. Nabb
was handsome in appearance and a
fine specimen of physical strength
and manhood. He was a positive
and sincere person, strong in his at
tachments and equally strong in his
dlslikes. He enjoyed a large ac-
quaintance throughout the county
ard his death will cause widespread
regret.
His wife died about a year ago.
Surviving him are the following
children: Two sons, Messrs, William
T. Nabb and George B. Nabb, and
three daughters, Mrs. George H.
Kirwan, Mrs. Pinkney, and Mrs.
Clyde Vincent, all of Dorchester
County.
