Per O. J. Diettel there is not much information on Ernest Diettel because he spent most of his adult life in Jackson, La., the state mental hospital.

Research:

Per Otto Diettel 5/8/2005 in an email answering my guess that Hans Author Diettel might be son of Annie and Bernard Diettel -
Yes, Hans Author was the son of Annie and Bernard Diettel. You won't find him or his brothers Ernest or Frank Diettel in the New Orleans birth records because they were born in Saxony Germany. Bernard and Annie returned to Germany doing the Civil War with Albert and Rudolph. I guess he did not have a lot to do while in Germany, so they had three kids. Rose and Eliza were born in New Orleans after the Civil War to round out the bunch to seven. My father and I were named after Rose's husban, Otto Graf. There is not much to be found about Ernest because he spent most of his adult life in Jackson, La., the state mental hospital.
