Julius Gibbs served as a Captain in the 30th Mississippi Infantry C.S.A. during the civil war. After the war he was proprietor of the Gibbs Springs resort, wher many travelers came to spend a few days at the small resort to bathe in the waters of Gibbs springs. The resort was especially popular during the Yellow Fever Outbreak in the late 1870's as many believed the waters of the spring has medical benefits. The Gibbs family bottled the water and sold it as well. Julius lived in a home on the same land (a few miles west of town) known as "The Old Rebel Home". When the two feuding cities came together to form Grenada, Julius Gibbs was asked to survey the land and he is recorded as having done so. He also served on the first Grand jury after Grenada Co., was formed from Yalobusha Co. He was a life long member of the Methodist church and a lifelong Mason belonging to the Oxford Miss Masonic Lodge #33 until his death in 1896. He and his wife Mary Pulliam had eleven children
It seems that John Gibbs and later his son Julius Gibbs owned a small resort a few miles west of Grenada known as Gibbs Springs. The spring has since dried up.
Other children include Mary Blackwell Gibbs, Theophilus Pulliam Gibbs (m Mary Betty Ryan), Julius Shelby Gibbs, Edward Fitzgerald Gibbs, Kate Hughes Gibbs (James Ransom Mauldin), John Dickens Gibbs (m Josephine Klein), Henry Webb Gibbs (m Augusta L Long), and Mary Steel Gibbs (W W Ward)
