He was a private in Company G 11th Infantry in the Civil War. He entered into service on September 12, 1861 and was transferred to the Volunteer corps on March 15, 1864. He mustered out on October 10, 1864 after his volunteer time had expired.

Following is an obituary copied in a letter that Eleanor Hottmann wrote to Lyle Mabbott:
"I remembered that in a trunk which we had was the obituaries of Edward Mabbott and his wife Margarette Stuart Bernard. I will give you the material from Edward Mabbott, taken from the Home News April 13, 1922:
Edward J. Mabbott was born in Cottswood, England, May 22, 1843, and at the time of his death was 78 years old. Mr. Mabbott came to the United States with his parents, Christopher and Mary Ann Mabbott, when a child of two years on the old homestead. He grew to manhood on the hold homestead in Mill Creek Valley in the town of Arena, Wisconsin.
When the Civil war broke out, although not yet of the required age to enlist, he succeeded in persuading his parents to allow him to go. He served his country faithfully for three years in Co. G Eleventh Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteers.
Mr. Mabbott was always a staunch defender of the stars and stripes and what they stood for, and one of his last requests was that no flowers be used at his funeral but that a flag be buried with him in the casket and also one on his casket.
After the war closed, he came back home in Mill Creek Valley. On January 7th, 1866, he was united in marriage to Margarette S. Bernard, then of Old Helena, Wisconsin. They shortly thereafter took up their residence in Wyoming Valley where they resided many years.
To this union were born seven children: Archie C. of Spring Green; George A. of Aberdeen, South Dakota; Annie E. who died in infancy; Herbert J. of Gilbert, Alberta Canada; W. Leonard, who died shortly after the Spanish-American war in which he served; Park L. of Wayne, Nebraska, and Dicky E. who also died in infancy. There was also an adopted daughter, Millie, who grew to womanhood and is now living in Milwaukee.
Mrs. Margarette Mabbott died April 14, 1917, and was buried in the Old Helena Cemetery near Tower Hill. In the fall of 1918 Mr. Mabbott was united in marriage to Miss Theressa M. Saums, who still survives him and who so tenderly and patiently waited on him, ministering to his every want and comfort during his last months of suffering.
Two brothers; Thomas S. of Wallace Idaho; George W. of Unity, Wisconsin and two sisters, Mrs. Allen Coombs of Arena and Mrs. Charles Holly of Stickney, South Dakota also survive him."
