Enlisted Jul 13, 1861, Memphis, MO Mustered in Feb 1, 1862, Canton, MO Mustered out Apr 19, 1866, Ft. Gaines AL Office of Adjutant General Record of Service Card, Civil War, 1861-1865 Box 49 Reel s00857 *********** Jeptha Lafever died of consumption at his home in this city, Thursday evening, August 9th, 1894, after a long and painful illness. Deceased was born in Knox County, Ohio, January 8th, 1820, and moved to this county in 1848. On the breaking out of the war he enlisted in the 1st Northeast Mo. Home Guards and became a member of the 21st Mo. Vols at the organization of that regiment. He re-enlisted and served his country faithfully and well until the close of the war. When he returned home he engaged in farming near Bible Grove and continued in the business up to a few years ago when failing health compelled him to lease the farm and he moved to this city. He grew worse as the years went by and the merciless disease finally claimed its victim. He leaves a widow to whom he was married in 1855 and a number of grown children to mourn his death. He was a member of the Christian Church, an honest and upright citizen and will be missed and mourned by a large circle of friends. His comrades of the G. A. R. accompanied the remains to Bible Grove, Friday, and Rev. B. M. Danford, chaplain of the Post, preached the funeral sermon, after which the body was laid to rest in the Bible Grove cemetery.
