Harry was the son of Jacob C. & Elizabeth F Addison Eichelberger. It is said he was born in Florida but the 1900 Census list his date and birth 1856 in Georgia. He was 43 in 1900, so his census interview was taken prior to his birthdate of October 30.He married a daughter from one of the pioneer families, Berthania Elizabeth Downes (Miss Tidy) possibly in 1879 or 1880. Three children were born to this union: Elbert D born May 1881; William born 1884 and Jenevieve born in 1890.Eichelberger's most productive photographic period was 1890-1910.

He must have died sometime before 1870 as I can find no other record of him. Nor can I find a record of his wife-she may have remarried. They had 4 children that I know of-Maggie born abt 1852 in Newberry County, South Carolina-Mary born 1854 in Newberry-died 1855 in Newberry-Harry born 1856 in Marion County, Fl and Anna born about 1858 also in Marion County, Fl. Jacob Eichelberger was my great grandmother's great uncle. Regards, Mary Beth Marchant
