Ephraim Kirby-Smith (August 30, 1884 – July 8, 1938)[1] was a college football player.
Kirby-Smith was born on August 30, 1884, in Sewanee, Tennessee, the son of American Civil War general Edmund Kirby Smith and his wife Cassie Selden. Edmund Kirby Smith's brother Ephraim, for whom his son was presumably named, died in 1847 from wounds suffered at the Battle of Molino del Rey.[2][page needed]
