"SACRED
In the memory of
GEORGE A. EICHELBERGER
He was the eldest son of
Michael & Rosannah Eichelberger
BORN June 17, 1805
Died at White Hall Hospital S.C. Feb. 22nd 1862
Aged 56 years 8 months and 5 days
Although of advanced age at the com-
mencement of hostilities between
the Confederate and United States and firmly
impressed with the truth and justice of
the cause of the south he volunteered
in Company H 13th Reg of S.C. Volunteers
led by his son Capt. P A Eichelberger and
enlisted for the war.
He was a true patriot and christian and
delighted in the poets words
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear.
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fears."
