Mauro was born in St. Louis, Missouri.[2] He was a lawyer who practiced before the Supreme Court, a patent attorney, and a Christian writer. He prepared briefs for the Scopes Trial. His works include God's Pilgrims, Life in the Word, The Church, The Churches and the Kingdom, The Hope of Israel, Ruth, The Satisfied Stranger, The Wonders of Bible Chronology, The World and its God, The Last Call to the Godly Remnant, More Than a Prophet, Dispensationalism Justifies the Crucifixion, Evolution at the Bar and Of Things Which Soon Must Come to Pass.
In his 1921 work, The Seventy Weeks: And the Great Tribulation, Mauro argued that Herod the Great was the "wilful king" of Daniel 11:36.

He married Emily Johnston Rockwood in 1882 and had two daughters, Margaret Frances Mauro (1882–1948) and Isabel Rockwood Mauro (later Mrs. Charles Stratton French).
