| Obituary |
- Special to the New York Times. "Charles Mabey, 81, Ex-Utah Governor". Salt Lake City, April 27, Charles Rendell Mabey, Governor of Utah from 1921 to 1925, died yesterday at his residence in suburban Bountiful. He was 81 years old. Mr. Mabey attended the University of Utah and later did additional work at the University of Chicago after the Spanish-American War had interrupted his education. During that war he served in the Philippine Islands campaigns of 1898 and 1899. Thirty years later he received a Silver Star for gallantry in action on May 14, 1899. After a brief career as a teacher, Mr. Mabey helped to found the Bountiful State Bank in 1906. He later became its president. He was elected to the State House of Representatives in 1912 for the first of two terms. After Army service in World War I, he was elected Governor. Active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, he served as quorum instructor until his death. A former commander in the American legion, he held many national posts in that organization. Surviving are four sons, Rendell, Robert, Edward and Charles T. Mabey, four brothers and two sisters."

| Obituary |
- Charles graduated from the University of Utah in 1896 with a teaching certificate. During the next decade, he was a teacher and school administrator but also served a tour of duty in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War and spent three years as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Germany (1900-1903).
His public service included Justice of the Peace, City Councilman, and Mayor of Bountiful, and he was elected to two terms in the Utah House of Representatives. He was commissioned a Captain in the Artillery during World War I, completing active duty in December, 1918.
Elected governor two years later, he was a strong advocate of public education, and a large number of new schools were built during his gubernatorial administration. He also promoted new highway construction in Utah, utilizing federal grants and a gasoline sales tax. And it was at his recommendation that the state legislature approved Utah's participation in the Colorado River Compact. However, depressed economic conditions, combined with Mabey's record of spending for education and highways and his independent style in the face of Republican Party pressure, led to his defeat for reelection in 1924.
After leaving office, he remained active in business, civic, and church affairs, holding state and national positions in the American Legion and serving on the general board of the Young Mens Mutual Improvement Association of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
