Louis S. Epes (January 12, 1882 - February 14, 1935) was born in Prince William County, Virginia. He was educated in public schools in Nottoway and at Hoge Military Academy in Blackstone before he entered Hampden-Sydney College in 1898. After graduating in 1901, he taught at Homer Military Academy in Oxford, North Carolina (1901-03); West Kentucky College, Mayfield, Kentucky (l903—04), and conducted a private collegiate preparatory school in Helena, Arkansas (1904-06). In 1906, he entered Washington and Lee University’s Law School, was admitted to the bar in 1907 and received his law degree in 1908. During 1907-08, he practiced law in Lexington while completing his law course. In 1908, he entered the firm of Epes and Epes at Blackstone and he practiced there until being appointed to the Virginia State Corporation Commission in November 1925. From 1911 to 1918, he was Mayor of Blackstone, resigning in 1918 to enter the United States Army, from which he was honorably discharged on December 5, 1918. In 1919, he was elected to the Virginia State Senate from Nottoway, Lunenburg, Prince Edward, Cumberland and Amelia Counties and served two terms. In November 1929, he was elected to the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, where he remained until his death.
