    Notes:

    Ephraim was born in Gatlinburg and lived in the area all his life. He is not listed in the 1850 Sevier County, Tennessee census. He was a farmer and served from 27 June 1866 to 12 December 1871 and from 25 January 1886 to 13 July 1888 as a postmaster in Gatlinburg.

    A story is told of his skill with a gun and his knowledge of the woods. It seems he was going in home late one night. Along about the old swimming hole in the Park, he heard a noise in the hemlocks overhead. The night was very dark and he could barely see an outline of something crouched in the tree above the river road. Knowing he had only one chance to shoot at whatever it was, he decided to risk it and fired. It fell to the road with a crash. Waiting a few minutes to be sure it was more that just stunned, Ephraim went up to it, examined a paw and knew at once "it" was a "painter". Knowing the panthers usually traveled in pairs, he made tracks for home, Next morning he returned and found his panther still stretched across the road.

    During the Civil War Ephraim served with the Union army in Company G, 6th Regiment, Tennessee Cavalry. He enrolled 16 Sep 1862 and was mustered out 30 June 1865. He was described then as being 5 feet 7 inches tall, with dark hair, fair complexion and blue eyes.
