_______________
At an early age he moved with his family from Hillsborough
to the old "Mebane Place" on Walters Road [Walters' Mill
Road?] near Blanche, North Carolina. As a young man he
worked on the family farm and at various jobs in Milton and
Blanche. Riding horseback, he delivered mail between
Yanceyville and Blanche. He also was station agent for the
Southern Railway Company in Blanche, North Carolina.
He was a deputy sheriff and jailor under Caswell County
Sheriff J. Yancey Gatewood, father of famous artist Maud
Florance Gatewood. After his term as deputy sheriff, Giles
Mebane launched a dry cleaning business in the Yanceyville
building that eventually housed the office of Dr. Houston
Lafayette Gwynn and the Confederate Memorial Library.
Whether Giles Mebane constructed this building is unknown.
