   HORACE EMMET WILSON. A prominent member of the Savannah bar is Horace Emmet
Wilson. He was born in Effingham county, Georgia, the son of Stephen A. and
Tabitha A. (Edwards) Wilson. The subject's great-grandfather, James Wilson, came
from North Carolina to Georgia immediately after the Revolutionary war. He was
the holder of land grants in Effingham and Wilkes counties. He was a Continental
soldier in the Revolution and the records show quite clearly that he had the
rank of captain.

   Elihu Wilson, grandfather of Horace Emmet Wilson, was born in Effingham
county, where he resided until his death. His son, Stephen A. Wilson, lived in
the same county, and was ever loyal to the institutions of the South. He served
in the army of the Confederacy throughout the war between the states, in which
service he attained the rank of captain of Company I of the Forty-seventh
Georgia Infantry. Captain Wilson was by occupation a merchant and farmer.

   Mr. Wilson, the subject of this brief record, was reared in Effingham county
where he received his preliminary education. He graduated from the North Georgia
Agricultural College with the class of 1880, and in the fall of the same year
located in Savannah. Later he matriculated at the University of Virginia and
graduated from the law department in the class of 1885, in which year he
returned to this city and began the practice of the law. In 1893 he formed a
copartnership with James M. Rogers, his brother-in-law, under the firm name of
Wilson & Wilson, and this copartnership has continued until the present time.
Mr. Wilson is interested in public affairs, and has been an alderman, city
attorney and captain in Savannah Volunteer Guards. He married Miss Tallulah
(Lula) Rogers, a native of this city, and from this union a son, Rogers
Murchison Wilson, has been born.
