Jerre B. MOBERLY:  Jerre B. MOBERLY, one of the officers and directors of
the Mercantile Trust Company of St. Louis, having charge of the real estate
loan department, was born in Saline County, Missouri, December 3, 1874, and
is a son of James B. and Rebecca (BARLING) MOBERLY.  He attended the public
schools of St. Louis and on the 1st of January 1890, was graduated from the
Stoddard school.  He started upon his business career at office work with
the firm of HAMMETT & MORRISON, tie and timber contractors, in April 1890.
Through the intervening period he has made steady advancement, the steps in
his orderly progression being easily discernible.  Today he is at the head
of the real estate loan department of the Mercantile Trust Company with
offices at  Eighth and Locust streets.  He is regarded as an expert
valuator of property, possessing detailed knowledge of city real estate,
and in building up the department has surrounded himself with a corps of
competent men who for many years have specialized in real estate matters.
They handled only first mortgage loans and thus render the investor
absolutely secure.  Mr. MOBERLY has been a most important factor in the
development of the large business now controlled by this department.

Mr. MOBERLY was married to Miss Alice Muriel BABCOCK, a daughter of W. H.
BABCOCK.  Mrs. MOBERLY, who is now deceased, became the mother of one
child, a son, Milton Dwight.  Mr. MOBERLY has never allied himself with
either political party, but casts his ballot according to the dictates of
his judgment.  He belongs to the Algonquin Golf Club, which indicates much
concerning the nature of his recreation.
