During the Civil War, five of the Lanier brothers enlisted as part of the Confederacy in 1862. 29-year-old Joseph Lanier and his 18-year-old younger brother, Jacob Lanier, enlisted 20 Aug 1862 at Camp Hill, as part of Company C, Regiment 18, North Carolina Infantry. 25-year-old Elkana Lanier caught up with the regiment at Camp Hill and enlisted 20 Aug 1862. 20-year-old David Anderson Lanier enlisted on 14 Oct 1862 in McDowell County as part of Company E, Regiment 58, North Carolina Infantry. 24-year-old William Benjamin Lanier also enlisted in 1862. Unfortunately for Edmund and Susannah, only one of their five sons came home from the war. On 25 Aug 1863 (53 days after Gettysburg) brothers Elkana (then 30) and Jacob (then 19), were arrested for desertion - as a result of being away from camp in a nearby field scrounging for food. At that time all the Rebel forces were half-starved. They were executed on 26 Sept 1863 on Blue Run - five miles west of Orange, Virginia. William died from wounds as part of Company H, 61st Infantry Regiment NC on 19 May 1864 at Richmont, VA, hospital. David Anderson Lanier was wounded on 19 Sep 1863 at Chickamauga, Tennessee -- the very day Jacob and Elkanah were court-martialed at Orange, Va. He recovered from his wounds and returned to his regiment and was wounded again in the Battle of Atlanta. David was discharged but stayed on with the medical corps. He continued to care for the injured for two months after the war was over because they were unable to travel. He finally arrived in Hickory, N.C. on 20 Jun 1865 Joseph died in the Confederate Hospital (Chimborazo) in Richmond, Virginia, on 09 Feb 1863 from scrofula - a form of tuberculosis.. The 1870 Census shows Joseph's widow, Leah, living in the Newton Township of Catawba County, NC, with her two children: Darius (age 10) and Candace (age 7). Leah's age was 40. 1870 Catawba County, NC, Census
