Ephraim was only eight years old when his parents moved to Missouri. They settled in the DeWitt, Carroll County, area, where Ephraim often helped his father as a Miller. Ephraim lost one of his legs at some point in his life, whither it was as a child, working with his father at the Mill or later in life, we don't know. But we do know he had one wooden leg. Ephraim was reared in the Quaker faith, the same religion his parents belonged... however, at some point, he strayed away from Quakerism, at or about the time he married Mary Elizabeth Calvert on the 12 of April 1885, In 1941 Mary told her Grandson, John Ephraim Hiatt, that while she was growing up on Carroll County, Missouri, that she was a member of the Reorzanized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints).
It appears that the Ephraim Ratliff Hiatt and his wife, Mary Elizabeth
Calvert settled in Carrollton, Carroll Co., MO (16 miles S.W. of De Witt) when they were first married.
Sometime around 1899, Ephraim relocated his family to Ft. Smith, Crawford
Co., Ark. They stayed there only a short time (Probably about a year) before
moving again, this time to Joplin, Jasper Co., Missouri.
They were living at 1912 South Main St., Joplin on 11 Jan 1902, when their 12 year old daughter, Genevieve L. Hiatt died.
Ephraim listed himself as an "Engineer", in the early Joplin City
Directories. According to his Grandson, Herber Hiatt (son of Vivian) Ephraim
worked on Steam Engines. Whither he ever worked for the Rail Roads we don't
know but we do know he put his talents to work later on as a Power guage man,
for the mining industry around Joplin.
In 1903 Ephraim listed his address as 1211 South Bird St., Joplin.
It was in 1904, that they movd a little farther out of town to 2516 South
Main St., Joplin. It was living here, that their only living daughter, Guelah Elma Hiatt, died of pneumonia, (13 Feb 1904) at the very young age of four. It was about this same time that the Ephraim Hiatt family decided to go into the Candy making business. They opened a Retail Candy Store, in the busy Downtown section of Joplin. It was called the Independent Candy and MFG. Co., located on 4th Street, the N.W. Corner of Missouri Ave. right across from the (then, new) Joplin-Kansas City P. & G.R.R. building. How well they did in the Candy business, we don't know, but we do know that by 1906 they were no longer in it.
1n 1916 Ephraim and his family were living at 1101 South Jackson St.
Joplin.

November 4, 1919 The Joplin News Herald..."Burned at Treece, Kansas, Mine, E.R. Hiatt dies in St. John's Hospital.
E.R. Hiatt 60 years old, who was badly burned yesterday morning in a buring building, died at St. John's hospital at 10 o'clock last night. He is survived by four sons: Vivian, Richard, Hugh and Ray.
Hiatt was injured on the office of the Crescent Mining Company, near
Treece, Kansas about 5:30 o'clock yesterday morning. He used the mining office as his sleeping quarters and when he arose to light the fire in the morning, a leaky gas pipe had allowed the room to fill with gas. When the match was struck , the gas in the room exploded and with his clothes on fire, Hiatt ran from the building calling for help. He rolled into a pond of water near the office.
Employes arrived and gave first aid treatment but he was already so badly
burned that the flesh was falling from his body in places. He was taken to St. John's hospital in an ambulance of the Todd Undertaking Company of Picher, Okla.
