   HUGH S. D. MALLORY.-During the colonial period two brothers, named Mallory,
came from England and settled, one in Virginia and the other in a colony further
north. From the former has descended H. S. D. Mallory, whose great-grandfather
was a soldier in the war of the Revolution. A son of this patriot-warrior, named
Uriah, was married in Virginia, and to him was born in Madison county, Va., a
son named James, who was married to Miss Ana Darby, a native of Orange county,
Va., and of Scotch-Irish descent, and in 1832 came to Alabama, where the father
engaged in planting in Talladega county until his death, which occurred in
August, 1877, at the age of seventy years; the mother is still living at an
advanced age. They were the parents of five sons and five daughters, of whom H.
S. D. Mallory is the third to the youngest. Hugh S. D. Mallory was born on his
father's plantation in Talladega county, Ala., February 6, 1848. His education
was acquired in the high school, and later at the Male institute of Talladega,
this was supplemented by an attendance at the university of Alabama until the
burning of that institution, when he entered the university of Virginia, studied
during 1866-67-68, and graduated with the degree of B. L. in. the last named
year. In January, 1869, he settled in Selma, and was admitted to the bar the
same year-or as soon as he had attained his majority. His career as a lawyer has
been one of uninterrupted success, and as a citizen he has received the utmost
confidence of the residents of the city. He has served two terms as magistrate
and two years as mayor. He has been president of Selma Bar association four or
five times, and is a member of the Dallas Bar and State Bar associations. He was
one of the organizers of the Home Real Estate and Loan company, of which he is
president, and also one of the organizers of the Selma & Cahaba Valley Railroad
company, and has ever been one of Selma's most active and enterprising citizens.
For five years he was superintendent of education for Selma and is, at present,
the president of the board of trustees of the Alabama State Colored university,
of which the governor of the state and the state superintendent are ex-officio
members, the entire board being prominent citizens of Alabama and democrats. He
is a Knight Templar, a member of the I. O. O. F., and past grand dictator of the
Knights of Honor; is a member of the Legion of Honor and of the National Union.
For a number of years he has been chairman of the Dallas county democratic
executive committee, and has several times been a delegate to state conventions,
and is an active member of the democratic state executive committee. A deacon in
the Baptist church, he is also superintendent of the Sabbath school and
moderator of the association. In October, 1872, Mr. Mallory was happily married
to Miss Luta Moore daughter of Dr. C. B. Moore, of Summerfield, Dallas county,
the result of the union being the birth of six children.
