assume you are talking about Pvt. E.C. Malone, Co. G, 11th/17th Ark. Infantry as listed below (as posted on the EMWS 11th/17th Ark. descendants website)...?

Malone, E.C. ----Co. G 11th/17th Ark. Inf. Pvt/Pvt

Pvt. Edward Calloway Malone
Edward Calloway Malone, uncle of my grandmother, first enlisted in Company B of the Camden Knights when he was about 17 years old. His records indicate that he enlisted in Co. G of the 11th Arkansas Regiment on July 23, 1861. His cousin J. J. Haynes was in the same company. Edward either escaped capture or was absent on sick leave at the time of the surrender at Island No. 10. He later shows up in records of Co. E. of the 2nd Arkansas Infantry (Private/Sergeant). According to my grandmother, he served all through the war and his parents thought that he was on his way home, but he disappeared. His family never knew what happened to him, although they suspected he might have been killed in a train wreck.

Mebbe Bryan Howerton has some more details re him..????
