He was also in the siege of Yorktown,@ Gainsville, Malvern Hill, Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. Those who mourn his loss are his wife Martha, five children, Libbie, Lillian, Annie, and Lucy, and William Eisenberg. The funeral will take place from the house on Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock and from the German reformed Emmanuel Church, hamilton Place and Bond street @ 2:30 o’clock.
