  Ricky lived across the street when my family moved to Atlanta and after only a day or two he pedaled over to the curb and asked if there was anyone his age who wanted to come out and meet him. He had an easygoing smile and completely unpretentious manner and within days we were together constantly, exploring the woods behind my house along Peachtree Creek, daring each other to cross on fallen trees or pipes, the higher the better, hiking down to the Chattahoochee River or up past Nancy Creek to Bobby Jones Golfcourse, walking down the railroad tracks talking about girls, baseball, girls, and our lives as we understood them, early summer mornings riding our bikes miles to swim at their club pool and sneaking out our windows late at night to practice smoking cigarettes. We came of age together in the middle school years and were as close as twins it seemed, until my family moved away, but even after that we wrote letters back and forth and I even came back to visit a few times. On one of those I got my first drunk on, with him hooking his Dad's beer one night. After high school I went to college and after a time he went into the Marines. I got a chance to spend some time with him on his last liberty before shipping out and we walked and talked about war and fate long into the night. I never saw him again but I helped his Mom and Dad and Sister bury him at the National Cemetary in Marietta. I can hardly remember it for the tears--his mother so slender and sad, all in black and kneeling by his grave. It's been over forty years now but I can still see that friendly smiling crewcut-cut boy like it was yesterday, sitting sideways on his bike asking me do I want to come out to play. Yeah Ricky, I still do. ...more

  The name "Ephiram Dilly" is very likely "Ephraim Dilley" - a known Rev. War Pensioner, and my direct ancestor. He & wife Lucy are buried in Senecaville OH cemetery, Guernsey Cty. Footnote has several documents with the "Ephraim Dilley" spelling. The "e" of Dilley is occasionally omitted in various early documents.
