F M Mobley Died Sunday
Francis Marion Mobley, sergeant of the guard at the state penitentiary, died Sunday night at a hospital in this city, after a very brief illness. All of the members of his immediate family were at his bedside, but he did not recognize some who had come from a distance. Mr Mobley had been the picture of health and the fatal illness came upon him with a suddenness which was astonishing.
But a week ago he suffered a partial stroke of paralysis caused by a blood clot on the brain. This was followed at once by a second and more severe stroke, and then came a third which rendered Mr Mobley unconscious and for a week he lay in a comatose state. The end came as a gentle sleep.
The deceased was a son of the late Edward P and Marion R Mobley of Fairfield county and would have been 46 years old on the 28th of February of this year. He is survived by four brothers and two sisters, Mose H and Edward P Mobley, Sr, of Columbia; Dr Berry H Mobley of Atlanta, Ga, and J Jones Mobley of Lauderdale, Fla, and Mrs R W Brice of Wedgefield and Mrs J F Mobley of Columbia.
The remains were removed to the home of Mose H Mobley on Blanding street and will be taken tomorrow morning at 5:30 via the Southern, to the old family burying ground near White Oak, on the old homestead, owned by the deceased. The funeral services will be conducted at 11 o'clock by Mr Mobley's pastor, Rev J P Knox of the Centennial A R P Church.
Mr Knox Saturday spoke very feelingly of the critical illness of Mr Mobley and declared that the stricken man's long service at the state penitentiary, instead of hardening him to the sufferings of mankind, had made him feel very deeply the condition of the men who are spending their lives in servitude on account of offenses committed.
Capt D J Griffith, superintendent of the state penitentiary, also spoke in highest terms of Mr Mobley and declared that he had never been associated with a man of finer integrity or sense of justice, and that he was deeply sensible of the splendid character of his friend.
For 22 years Mr Mobley had been an official of the penitentiary, for many years being the superintendent of the convicts working in the hosiery mill, and later being sergeant of the guard. He had served as an official continuously except or a term of enlistment in the United States volunteer army, first as a quartermaster sergeant of the Lee Light infantry of Chester, Co D, in Col Alston's regiment that volunteered for service and was mustered out when the war came to a speedy close. Mr Mobley, however, remained in service as a non-commissioned officer in the ambulance corps of Ray's regiment of immunes which served in Cuba.
The deceased was a member of Richland lodge, Columbia chapter, Columbia commandery and Omar temple of the Mystic Shrine. He had many friends in this city and throughout the state.

Late Columbian is Buried Near White Oak in Family Burying Ground.
The remains of F Marion Mobley, who died at a hospital in Columbia at 6 o'clock Monday morning, were taken to White Oak Tuesday morning for interment. A special escort of Knights Templar was present to confer the rites of that order in the following persons: O F Hart, W H Gayden, H H McGill, J W McCormick, H M Miller and J W Coleman.
A large concourse of friends and relatives met the funeral party at White Oak and conducted it to the family burying ground on the estate of the late Ed P Mobley, Sr [Jr], three miles east of White Oak. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev J P Knox of the A R P church in Columbia, the pastor of the deceased, assisted by the Rev Alline Johnston of the A R P church at Winnsboro. The funeral was largely attended by people from surrounding sections, including a large number of negroes, who held the deceased in high esteem and desired to show their appreciation by their presence and conduct at the grave. The floral contributions were such as to make a complete mound of flowers, the mark of appreciation from those at home and from some out of the State.
