Joe-
I have a Memorial Document of the 208th PA Volunteers hanging on my office wall that lists William H. Gemberling as a 2d Lt. on his 2d enlistment in the 208th Volunteers. They were organized in Harrisburg, PA on Sept 12, 1864 and mustered in as a unit for one year. I don't know where his previous enlistment would have been. My great-grandfather Percival Gemberling (1845-1915) was also in the unit as an infantryman.

My geneology chart, which was made by my father, shows a William as Percival's uncle. This William (not sure if it's the same as William H.) was born in 1837 and died in 1909, and was married to Amanda Forry (1838-1915).

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Roy Gemberling

Hi Roy,

Thank you for the reply to my posting and for the information sent.

I have gathered biographical material about the Gemberlings who served in the 208th. You have piqued my curiosity about that memorial document.

I'd be happy to share further material with you.

Please contact me directly: morse73@ptd.net

Thanks,

Joe

Roy,

Your GGF Percival Gemberling of the 208th PA Infantry died 7/2/1913 at Bayonne, NJ. The place of burial on his death certificate in the archives in Trenton, NJ is practically illegible. The best I can do is guess that it reads "Slona" or "Slone", but I suspect it might be "Grove" as there is a Grove Church Cemetery near Bayonne.

Can you help me with this conundrum?
