Four of his brothers (Joseph, Elkanah, Jacob and William) also enlisted during the Civil War in 1862. Unfortunately for Edmund and Susannah, only one of their five sons came home from the war - David. David Anderson Lanier was wounded on 19 Sep 1863 at Chickamauga, Tennessee -- the very day Jacob and Elkana 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. Pvt. Lanier 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. The Catawba Soldier of the Civil War
(1911)
"D. A. Lanier"
D. A. Lanier enlisted in Co. E, 58th Regiment NC Troops. He was a faithful soldier. He was wounded twice; once in the battle of Chicamauga Creek and again in front of Atlants, GA. His last wound caused a lameness from which he has suffered ever since. He was honorably discharged from the field services, but remained in the Confederate service in the Medical department until the war closed. He was one of six brothers, four of whom were lost in the war. He has taught school and been preaching in the M.E. Church for a number of years. His modesty forbids his own write up. He returned home June 20, 1865 and is one of our best citizens. David married Martha Huntley prior to 1867. Martha was born 08 Mar 1836. Their marriage produced seven children.
