                GEORGE B. EPPS was born April 13, 1863, in St. George,
              New Brunswick. Attended common school in St. George.
              Learned the trade of a stone polisher. There are very
              extensive quarries of red granite at St. George, and 
              the polishing of this stone furnishes employment for
              the inhabitants. When about twelve years of age he ship-
              ped for a coasting voyage, and spent a year in seaman's
              work. Came to Minnesota about 1879. Followed logging
              and lumbering for about twelve years. Then worked in
              Reed & Sherwood's sash and door factory until 1901.
              In the latter year he purchased his farm in section 3,
              town of Ramsey, where he has since lived. Mr. EPPS
              was married Sept. 25, 1886, to ADELINE COOK. They have
              one adopted son, HARRY.
