Ephraim suffered most of his adult life with severe rheumatoid arthritis. Today, that disease does not hold the terrors it held for persons like Ephraim, who lived at a time when there were no wonder drugs to control it. The disease began to seriously affect him not long after he had graduated from Dartmouth College (1871) and had begun a promising career as a civil engineer in New York City. Gradually the joints in his body became rigid. For 20 years, he was unable to move his hands and feet, even though he was able to talk, and hear, but was also blind. His condition attracted the attenntion of medical professionals from throughout the country, although they were unable to do anything to reverse the curse of the arthritis. He spent the last 7 years of his life as a patient at Elloit Hospital in Manchester, New Hampshire.
