Judge W. L Davidson, the subject of
thia sketch, came to Texas with his fath-
er. Rev. Asbury Davidson, when a child
and settled near Gonzales, Texas. Judge
Davidson entered the confederate army
at sixteen years of age and served until
the close of that memoriable struggle in
Company B, Thirty-second Texas Caval-
ry. Col. P. C. Woods commanding. He
participated in quite a number of severe-
ly contested battles, among which were
Blair's Landing. Monette Ferry, McNutt's
Hill, Marksville, Mansura and Yellow
Bayou. He also served under Gen. Ben.
McCullough at the time he received the
surrender of Gen. David E Twiggs at San
Antonio in February. 1861. He was also
under General—then Major—Van Dorn at
the time of his capture of the federal
troops in Indianola Bay, shortly after the
surrender of Gen. Twiggs. At this time
Judge Davidson was only 15 years of age.
He was admitted to the bar at Gonzales
in June, 1881, and successfully practiced
hia profession in that and adjoining coun-
ties until January, 1887, when he was
appointed Assistsnt Attroney General by
Governor U. S Ross, in which office he
served four years. In 1891, when he be-
came governor, J. S. Hogg appointed
Judge Davidson on the Court of Criminal
Appeals to succeed Judge Sam A. Wilson.
Judge Davidson has been elected when-
ever he was a candidate before the peo-
ple of Texas.
The work of that court aince Judge
Davidson s connection with it forms a
large part of Texas history and is found
of record in reported volumes 23 to 24.
Inclusive, and in eight volumes not yet
out of printers' hands. The Southwes-
tern Reporter contains this same work
from Volume 2 to Volume 165 inclusive
Texans can be justly proud of the great
work Judge Davidson has performed for
his state. They have manifeated their
appreciation of his services and we sin-
cerely hope and believe that they will
re-elect him to the office he has so long,
honorably and ably filled.
In 1887. when Judge Davidson was ap-
pointed Assistant Attorney General, he
moved his family to Georgetown. William-
eon county, for the purpose of educating
his children in the Southwestern Univer-
sity. After moving to Georgetown, the
five annual conferences of Texas Metho-
dists elected Judge Davidson a member
of the executive committee of Southwest-
em University and also member of the
board of trustees, In which capacity he
served about eighteen years. His con-
nection and work with the Methodist
educational system in Texas is a part of
the history of Southwestern University.
The work and services of Judge David-
