Lafayette was not found on the Marion County Tax rolls for the years 1858-1862. On the 1863 Marion Co., Ky tax roll, he was listed as a white male over 21 years of age and was enrolled in the militia.
Lafayette enlisted in the Union Army when he was 24 years old and his occupation was shown as being a teacher. He enrolled on 10/03/1861, for a term of 3 years, and was mustered in, 11/21/1861, at Lebanon, Ky. He received a medical discharge, 9/30/1862, at Louisville, Ky. The Adjutant General's Report, however, incorrectly states he was discharged 9/20/1862 (s/b 9/30/1862). He had been with Company C, 10th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry. His discharge paper indicates that he was 6 foot and 1/2 inches tall, with a dark complexion, blue eyes, and black hair.

On Feb. 4th, 1900, the angel of death visited the family of Mrs. Lafayette Atkins and took therefrom her beloved husband, Mr. Lafayette Atkins, with dropsy of the heart, aged 65 years (Note, per Dolores Bohn: Actually, he was 63 yrs. old). He was confined to his room for over six months. During his long illness, he bore his sufferings with great patience. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn his loss. The deceased was much beloved and highly respected by all who knew him. His remains were interred in the Chicago cemetery.
He was buried in the New Section of St. Francis of Assisi Cemetery, St. Francis, Ky; Cemetery # 2; Unknown; Unmarked grave. Note, per Dolores (nee Atkins) Bohn (His Great-Granddaughter) checked on getting a military marker. Lafayette does qualify, since he was in the Civil War, but since the exact grave location is not known, we can not do this.
*Note: per phone conversation, Dolores (nee Atkins) Bohn with Junie Mattingly, 3/14/2003. The only information Mattingly Funeral Home has on Lafayette E. Atkins is from St. Francis of Assisi burial records: He was born in 1837 in Washington County, Tennessee; died February 1900; married 3 times; no burial marker.*
