 Description: Eppa Hunton, Jr., began the practice of law in 1877, and his time and talents were largely concentrated upon the law and related activities until he accepted the post of president of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad. Richmond has been his home since 1901. His grandfather was Col. Eppa Hunton, and his father, General Eppa Hunton, and all these and other members of the family have been since Colonial times among Virginia's distinguished men of affairs, lawyers, soldiers and statesmen. "Headquarters Thirtieth Division, Camp Jackson, South Carolina, April 7, 1919. While in charge of a 37-mm gun section in advance of the assaulting troops, Lieutenant Menefee displayed unusual courage, operating the gun himself after his gunners had been killed, thereby reducing a machine-gun nest which had been holding up the line. You are hereby authorized to present this cross to First Lieutenant Marvin James Menefee, in the name of the commander-in-chief.
