Death of Dr. W. J. Mobley.
Dr. William Jefferson Mobley died at his residence in Shreveport at 4:05 o'clock on last Saturday, 20th instant, after a lingering illness of several weeks, aged 53 years, 6 months and 25 days.
Dr. Mobley was born in Bienville parish in 1843; joined the Confederate Army in 1862; graduated from a New Orleans medical college in 1869, and removed from Sparta to Bellevue in 1870, where he successfully practiced his profession until 1892, when he moved to Gibsland. In 1894 he moved from Gibsland to Shreveport.
Dr. Mobley was a true citizen, a devoted Christian, a gallant soldier, an able physician, and a zealous Mason, and his whole walk in life was God-fearing, faultless and graced with honor. His death is a public loss, and it is with great regret that we chronicle the death of this genial, cultivated Southern gentleman, for he was our personal friend. His kindly words have often cheered us on the way, and to know that we will meet him no more in the confenial walks of life brings regret.
There was no task too heavy for Dr. Mobley's undertaking when duty required his services, and when contending for the right his zeal and industry were unremmitting. As a citizen, he was exemplary in the highest sense of the term; rigid in his ideas of honor and scurpulously upright in every dealing with his fellowman. His success as a physician was the fruit of a life of devotion to the profession, coupled with an aptness for its pursuit, and an energy that seemingly recognized no limitation. A brave soldier in times of war, a loyal and honorable man in times of peace, and a citizen faithful in regard for every obligation, his death is one to be sincerely mourned.
One more leaf from the old South blown to the earth.
