Obituary from CONFEDERATE VETERAN, Vol. XV, No. 10, October 1907

Obituary:  CAPT. SINGLETON LAFAYETTE EASLEY

Capt. S. F. Easley was born in Talladega County, Ala., in February 1838, 
removing with his parents to Cass County, Tex., in 1857.  At Jefferson in 1861 
he enlisted in Phil Crump's battalion of infantry, which battalion became a part 
of the 32d Texas Infantry, of Ector's Brigade, in the Army of Tennessee.  He 
served in  this throughout the war, participating in all the battles in which 
that army was engaged, and at the close of the war he ranked as a first 
lieutenant of his company.  Returning to Cass County after the war, he made his 
home there until 1871, when he married and removed to Dallas.  Later he lived in 
Bowie, Seymour, and Chillicothe, at which latter place he died in September, 
leaving two daughters and a son.  Mr. Easley was not only a gallant soldier but 
a most upright and influential citizen.
