Notes
a. Note:   N13 Eric kept diaries extensively. Only one or two have survived. It is family lore that after Eric Sr's death his daughter Mattie, a born again Christian and pacifist, went to his house and burned all his Civil War diaries because they glorified war. Eric Sr. was an enthusiastic horseman. Eric Jr. is said to have bought a horse cheap, thinking he had made a great buy and would impress his father. The horse looked fine but, when mounted, would rear up and fall over backward, trying to crush his rider. Thus it sold cheap. Eric, however, took the horse inside the barn, stood him under the center beam and threw a leg over him. The horse reared, hit his head on the beam and nearly knocked himself unconscious. After a couple of these episodes he became peaceful and a good riding horse. Eric Lee, his grandson, remembers an episode when Eric Sr. was staying with him while the rest of the family went to church on Easter Sunday. Dad, who was only 4 or 5 remembers him as a man with a white beard and a big white horse. Dad's mother had made a large strawberry shortcake for the family dinner and Eric Sr. ate several pieces while all were at church. Dad's mother was beside herself when she discovered the loss.
