Honorably discharged 15 May 1863 he enlisted again in June 1863 as a Corporal in Company B, PA State Militia and was discharged in August. Enlisting again on 25 Feb 1864 in a new regiment known as the 2nd Provisional Heavy Artillery he participated in the battle of the Wilderness and the siege of St. Petersburg and then the Bermuda front. He received his final honorable discharge on 29 June 1866 at City Point, VA.
Brenbargr came to Longmont in June 1877 and married Miss Mary Teller in 1883. He "has always been a very quiet unassuming man and has made many firends. He was janitor at the Public Library and had just resigned when he was stricken with paralysis.
Besides his wife,Mary T. Brenbarger, he is survived by one son, Franklyn T. of Colorado Springs, two grandchildren, ..."

"The son of Henry & Catherine (Evans) Brenbarger, in 1860 he was a farm laborer living with and/or working for farmer Amos Bruce in Providence Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
As the obituary shown here states, he was a Civil War veteran, but Levi's is a mismosh of errors and omissions that is sadly typical of Civil War veterans' obituaries. Levi's regiment did not fight at the second battle of Bull Run, and he certainly never went near St. Petersburg, Florida, although he did see much action at Petersburg, Virginia.
Levi first enlisted in Lancaster August 4, 1862, mustered into federal service there August 11 as a private with Co. D, 122nd Pennsylvania Infantry, and honorably discharged with his company May 15, 1863. He then enlisted in Lancaster June 29, 1863, during the Gettysburg crisis, mustered into state service there July 7 as a corporal with Co. B, 50th Pennsylvania Infantry Militia, and honorably discharged with his company August 15, 1863. He last enlisted in Philadelphia February 24, 1864, and mustered into federal service there February 29 as a private with Battery K, 2nd Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery (112th Pa). Because that regiment had grossly over recruited, on April 20, 1864, he and many other new recruits transferred to a new unit called the 2nd Pennsylvania Provisional Heavy Artillery. Levi served with Battery F until that regiment ended its existence on September 5, 1864, and rejoined the 2nd Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery. He transferred to Battery M on August 28, 1865, and honorably discharged with the battery January 29, 1866. He is in all three rosters as "Brenberger."
In 1877, he moved to Longmont, Boulder County, Colorado, where he married Mary F. Teller and fathered Franklin Teller (b. 06/13/95), their only known child.
