John Enzweiler

Rank: Corporal
Role: Veteran
Residence Date: Jun 1890
Residence Place: Bellevue, Campbell, Kentucky, USA
Enumeration District: 43

He was wounded in the right lung at the Battle of Perryville (KY) on Oct. 8, 1862. He suffered pain from that wound for the rest of his life.
He was alive for the 1890 Survivors Census he lived in Newport and no disabilities were listed.
On his pension record he is listed invalid 23 Nov 1868 and Maria was a widow 23 Feb 1897, so I am using that as his death date.

John Enzweiler was born as Johann Enzweiler in Bachem, Germany on August 7, 1841.

He married Maria Jane Pryor on March 22, 1865 in Campbell Co. KY.

John and Maria had a daughter, Anna Elizabeth (plus 6 other children), who married Thornton Applegate. Their daughter Iva Myrtle (Applegate) Kilmer was my grandmother.
I have photos of a family I believe to be The Enzweilers, minus John, standing on the porch of a house. I am told this house was built with John's Civil War pension money. The house still stands on Nelson Road in N. KY. today. Here is a mystery I have come upon.
There are records indicating that John Enzweiler is buried in the Solder's Lot at the Evergreen Cemetery but the office there at the cemetery cannot come up with a true record of his burial. I cannot find a marker in the Soldier's Lot for him.

An Enzweiler researcher has told me that John and Miaria Jane are buried on the property on Nelson Road and that a landscaping business that stands on one part of the property has built greenhouses over the graves. This may be somewhat supported by that fact that I recently found the death certificate for Maria Jane Enzweiler on Ancestry.com and it states that she was buried "on the family lot on Nelson Road."
