• Name	Enoch Washington Griffin
  Born	18 Nov 1844	Union County, North Carolina
  Gender	Male
  Died	28 Dec 1931	Union County, North Carolina
  Notes	Monroe Enquirer & Express. 24 Apr 1890. "Mr.E.W. Griffin, of Goose Creek township, is a happy man. Mr. Griffin was wounded in the battle of Fredricksburg over 27 years ago. He was sitting down at the time and the ball entered his thigh and ranged upward, and lodged against his hip bone, but its location could never be discovered; Mr. Griffin has carried the ball all these years and has been more or less lamed by it. On last Friday, Mr. Griffin, while trying to dislodge a root, felt the ball break loose from its long resting place and fall down the channel of the wound. That night his son Luther sharpened up his knife and cut the ball out, and now Mr. Griffin prizes it as his most valuable relic. Mr. Griffin was a good soldier in the time that tried men's souls; he is now a good farmer, a good Alliance man, and a good citizen generally. We congratulate him."
