About Ephraim Alonzo Dial
Enlisted May 6, 1862, at the age of 17, in the CSA, in Company M, First Texas Infantry Regiment, Hood's Texas Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia. (120 men and boys enlisted in the CSA for war duty -- Ephraim was one of only 6 survivors of Company M present at Appomattox -- see "History of Company M," by Sergeant D. Hamilton.)
Ephraim was ill in the fall and winter of 1862-1863, but was well enough to fight at the Battle of Gettysburg in July of 1863, when he was wounded. (See http://texas-brigade.org/1st_tex/1texrostercom.htm -- the Company M roster.)
Fighting with Hood's Texas Brigade in the Devil's Den, he was shot in the neck; he survived. After the war, he headed home, stopping in North Carolina to marry and have children; when his first wife died, he left again for Texas, where he settled back in Saron near his family, and married again.
He was a Freemason, a member of Newport Lodge #228, and later a charter member of Joe Werner Lodge #553, in Trinity, Texas.
