Zebulon, Pike Co., Friday, November 3, 1893

‘Round About

Short Items for Home Folks Especially

The Eppinger family of this county have been advised by attorneys in Texas that an elder brother of 
Judge Eppinger who went to Texas in 1859 left a landed estate of something near 65,000 acres of land in 
Smith, Cherokee and Angelina counties. The lawyers are of the opinion that a large portion of the land 
can be recovered as it has not been settled but that the recovery of much of the tract would be doubtful 
as they would perhaps be barred by the statue of limitation in the case of improved property. 
Mr. Eppinger has been dead for 25 years and died without children. The many friends of the family 
in Pike trust that the reports may materialize and that Judge Eppinger’s family are in a streak of good luck.
