Wadsworth, of Hiram.] was born in Hiram, Me., October 17, 1824, of parents eminent in moral, mental, and physical excellence. In his life on the farm he developed habits of industry and activity. He was educated in the schools of Hiram and at Westbrook Seminary. At the age of 17 he commenced teaching, which he followed 40 years in Hiram, Porter, Parsonsfield, Brownfield, Waterford, Bridgton, Denmark, Baldwin, Sebago, Saco. He was preceptor of Limerick Academy three years, from March, 1817, and principal of Parsonsfield Seminary two years. He served often as school committee and supervisor of schools in Hiram, and was supervisor of schools of York county three years. He was justice of the peace in Hiram seven years. He has taught 112 terms of school, including several terms of free high school, and won golden opinions for his sympathetic kindness, keen, clear powers of analysis, description, and illustration, and his name still lingers in the school-day memories of hundreds of his pupils. He was ever on the alert, with versatile powers, restless energy, ceaseless activity, and fearless independence of character; a ready and pleasing speaker, with an ample fund of wit, humor, anecdote, and general information, with fine conversational and controversial powers, he led the vanguard of temperance, freedom, morality, and education in Hiram for 30 years. In these particulars he has not been exceeded by any citizen in this century. He married, first, Dorcas True. They had three sons and four daughters, who attained maturity, and had excellent scholarship and musical talent, and the home circle was a model of intelligence, culture, and refinement. March 16, 1886 he married Ella T., daughter of Francis Safford, of Turner (she is granddaughter of Benjamin Safford, who came from Minot and was the pioneer settler at North Turner Bridge. His children were Nathan, AVilliam, Francis, Eliza, and Polly. Mrs Mabry's mother was daughter of Zebulon Millett, of Leeds). In 1876 Mr Mabry experienced religion and joined the Methodist church. He received a local preacher's license in 1881, and has served in Mercer, Fairfield, Livermore, Turner, and Rumford with good results, enhanced by his genial nature, broad humanity, and catholicity of spirit. Mr Mabry has always been a radical in politics and in temperance. He enlisted June 17, 1862, and was commissioned a lieutenant in the loth Me, but was discharged for disability the same year. He was very active in raising the quotas of his town and in sending supplies to sick and wounded soldiers. He is connected with several fraternal societies and has been grand chaplain of the Grand Lodge of I. O. G. T. of Maine. [History Of Androscoggin County, Maine, Georgia Drew Merrill, Editor. W. A. Fergusson & Co., Boston, Mass. 1891. Town of Turner, pg 831] ===== HONORING A VETERAN TEACHER On October 17, 1902, a reception was given in K. of P. Hall at East Hiram, Me. To the Rev. Madison K. Mabry of North Turner Bridge, by persons in Hiram, and neighboring towns, who have been pupils in his 100 terms of school, including his several terms as preceptor of Limerick Academy. He served one term as county supervisor of schools in York county, and for years as superintending school committee or supervisor in Hiram, giving the best efforts of his best years to the cause of the common schools. The date selected was his 78th birthday. It was impossible to obtain the names of all his pupils and impracticable to slight any, hence a general public invitation was extended. Mr. Mabry's birthplace is on the hillside northeast of East Hiram village. He was the son of Thomas and Hannah Kimball Mabry, and a grandson of Capt. Josiah Mabry, an early settler of Hiram. Mr. Mabry is a pensioner, having served as lieutenant in Co. K, 17th Maine Regiment.
