ROBERT E. MABRY, Circuit Clerk, Fairfield, Ill is the fifth of a family of nine children born to Seth W. and Martha Mabry, well and favorably known in Wayne County.
Robert E. was born in November, 1848, in Mississippi, and came to this county with his parents in 1853, and has been in the county continuously since that time. By earnest application to books, supplemented by the common schools of the county, he has succeeded in obtaining a practical common school education, and for eight years acceptably filled the position of teacher in Wayne County. The interests of the farm, however, claimed much of his attention until he was elected to the office of Circuit Clerk in 1876. His ability as a proficient and worthy official warranted the people in his reelection to the same office in 1880, which term he is now serving with unusual acceptance.
In politics he is a Republican. He is a member of the A. 0. U. W. and a Royal Arch, Mason.
