1929. He graduated at Williamson College
Boston, Mass, and read law at Syracuse, IL
his native State. March 6, 1859, he was adj
mitted to practice ia the higher courts Of
New York, and came to Texas In 1854. In
September Of the same year he was admitted
to practice by Judge fhos. J. bevfne. He
first settled at Castroville and practieed law

During the war he acted as volunteer and
aid-de-camp to Gen. w. II. @. Whiting,
who, In his special orders of July IS,
1862, to Gen. Chiffon. Gen. Lees AdJutant
General, speaks in the highest terms Of the
courage and galantry of Colonel Epson, who,
he says, was the foremost in the fray at the
battles at West Point, Seven Pines, the
browning charge at Gaines Farm, at
Eltham's Landing. and finally lat the battle
of Malvern Hill. Previous to this Colonel
Epson had been appointed Associate Judge
of the Territory of Arizona, but he prefefred
to remain with the army until his health
obliged him to resign. In 1868 he was APP
pointed Special Treasury Agent to bring
from Richmond to Texas $20, 100000 In Con-
federate bonds, which he did successfully.
A second mission of the same character was
given him to take 100000 of coupon bonds
bonds to Louisiana, which trust he faithfully
executed. Since the war he has devoted
himself, as member OF the firm of Waelder
u Epson, to his profession, and enjoys the
reputation of being the best criminal lawyer
OF the West. He was a candidate for Tilden
Elector in 1876 He married Miss Martha
Vance, g relative of Mr.. VIM. Vance, of San
Antonio, shortly after the war, and has quite
