David B. Greenawalt
David B. Greenawalt of Fayetteville, Pennsylvania served in several regiments during the American Civil War: the 126th Pennsylvania Infantry; the 21st Pennsylvania Cavalry (which also served as the 182nd Pennsylvania Infantry); and the 87th Pennsylvania Infantry. The 21st Cavalry/182 Volunteers converted to a three year regiment in February of 1864, with six month enlistees allowed to depart (including D.B. Greenawalt). Sometime thereafter, he joined the 87th Pennsylavania Infantry, was commissioned and, as a Captain commanded Company K from February of 1865 until the regiment was discharged in July of 1865. The picture above is probably from his short service as an orderly sergeant in the 21st Pennsylvania Cavalry.
At age 26, Daniel Arnsberger mustered for duty as a private on September 19, 1861 and served until October 13, 1864 in Company H. During this time he was captured at the battle of Winchester, Virginia and confined in Richmond, Virginia (supposedly Libby Prison) until he was paroled at City Point, Virginia on July 23, 1863. He was captured on June 15, 1863. Daniel was captured at the battle of Carter's Woods (or Stephenson's Depot), the last fighting in the 2nd battle of Winchester. The battlefield is still pristine although there are plans for industry to invade the field across the road where the the 87th et al formed to make their three charges that morning. Daniel, as an enlisted man, would have spent, at best, a day or two in Libby Prison. That warehouse had become an "officers' club" by then but was used as a clearing house to disburse prisoners. Daniel was imprisoned on Belle Isle. Daniel and wife EIiza are buried at Lower Bermudian Church (Lutheran faith), Adams County, Pennsylvania. Daniel loved horses and was kicked to death by one in its stall on his farm.
