The Aiken Recorder 4 Jan 1886
Departure of an Old Landmark.

John Mobley, a noted character of Aiken, is reported to be dead. He died in 
Georgia, whither he went a few months ago. He was the only white professional 
beggar which Aiken could claim. He was over sixty years of age, and was never 
known to do anything else but beg for a living. He was a perfectly harmless 
character, and his appeals were seldom resisted. He was born a few miles from 
Aiken, near Croft's mills, and there he spent nearly all of his life, coming in 
weekly, and sometimes daily, to Aiken on his begging expeditions. He leavess a 
wife who, we understand, is totally blind. Steps are being taken to place her in 
the almshouse.
