Elmore Eli was an engineer on the Confederate Troop Train, The Governor, and was present at the Battle of Jonesborough, GA in 1864 when The Governor was struck by a Union cannonball. After his father, Samuel Arnold, was killed at the Battle of Olustee in February 1864, Elmore Eli came back to work on the Arnold farm in Hamilton Co., FL.
