_______________
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.
