Buried under the name of Ephraim CLODER in Dayton National Cemetery. Here is a copy of his obituary that appeared in the Allentown (Pennsylvania) Democrat, 12 April 1882:


"Ephraim Clader, who left here on Saturday week for Columbus, Ohio, with a view of entering the Soldiers' Home in said city, died in the hospital of the said institution on Thursday last, having been taken with illness very soon after his admission. He was a butcher by trade, and known by almost everybody in Allentown. Responding promptly to the first call for men to oppose their arms and lives to armed rebellion, he entered the service of his country as a member of the 47th Penna. Regiment, Col. Good, and served to the end of the war. He brought his age to 61 years. Two of his sons reside in Allentown, both of them being deaf mutes."


Ephraim's son James Lewis Clader was killed at the Battle of Antietam and is buried in the Union/West End Cemetery, Allentown, PA, along with Ephraim's wife, Katherine (Lucas) Clader.
