MOBLEY is a son of Wiley Mobley, of Winnsboro, S. C., and Nancy (Coleman) Mobley. The Mobleys were originally from Wales, and came to this country with Lord Baltimore, and settled in Maryland. G. P. Mobley was born in Greene County, Ala., in 1849, and educated at Greene Springs. He went into the army when but thirteen years old, and took part in many battles, among which may be instanced Spanish Fort and the Seven Days' Fight around Richmond, in both of which engagements he was severely wounded. After the war he taught school to defray the expenses incident to finishing up his own education. Immediately afterward he applied himself industriously to the study of the law, was admitted to the bar in 1870, and has practiced his profession ever since, at Eutaw. He has the proud consciousness of knowing that he laid the foundation by his own personal efforts for the success which lip has achieved in life. Mr. Mobley has, by industry, attention to the wants of his clients, acquaintance with the demands of his profession, and an accurate knowledge of the law, built up a good and lucrative practice. He is a member of the fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons. Additional Comments: Extracted from: Northern Alabama: Historical and Biographical Birmingham, Ala.: Smith and De Land 1888 PART III.
