There was no L. M. Aenchbacher who served in the CSA; in fact, there was no L. M. Aenchbacher. This memorial is a duplicate of Samuel Nicholas Aenchbacker, who served in the C. S. N., not the C. S. A., and the VA-issue headstone placed for him in this lot is a duplicate of this headstone, which was placed in an earlier era, likely by the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

This headstone was apparently supposed to say "S. N. AENCHBACHER," for Samuel Nicholas, but the "S." got mistaken for an "L." and the "N." got mistaken for an "M." when information was taken from handwritten records. We know this because 1) there is only one family with this surname in the local area, and there is no L. M. AENCHBACHER in it, let alone one who is of the correct age to have fought in the CSA. The immigrant father Samuel had 3 sons who all immigrated with him from Switzerland and all fought in the CSA: Samuel Nicholas, Louis Philip, and Gottlieb Nelson. Louis is buried in a different lot in Linwood and also has a VA-issued headstone on his CSA service. Gottlieb is buried in Atlanta. 2) There's no CSA service record for an L. M. Aenchbacher, only service records for the 3 sons mentioned. They are only the men in the entire database of Civil War Soldiers and Sailors on the National Park Service website with this surname. 3) There is only one Aenchbacher reported in the Linwood records to be buried in the Jungermann family lot, which is 1-82 in the city records and A-161 in the Autry book about Linwood Cemetery (Samuel N.'s daughter married a Jungermann) 4) a 1904 list of Confederate soldiers and veterans buried in Linwood shows only one Aenchbacher, which is S. N., buried in a lot on Oak Street (which the Jungermann family lot fronts). Brother Louis P. is not on that list because he hadn't died yet. And no person named L. M. Aenchbacher appears.

From Contributor #46870015: 1850 federal census of Columbus, Muscogee County, Georgia, Dwelling #358 / Household #387, shows: Samuel AENCHBACHER, male, 40 Switzerland, tailor; Rebecca, female, 19 GA; Gotlief [= Gottlieb], male, 12 Switzerland; Samuel, male, 10 Switzerland; Louis, male, 9, Switzerland; Julia CASNARD, female, 23 FL; Daniel (CASNARD), male, 5 GA; Mary (CASNARD) female, 4 GA.

By the way, brother Gottlieb Nelson Aenchbacher, who served in Company C and/or G of the 2nd Regiment, Georgia Infantry, CSA (see Memorial #60148705) is eligible to receive a headstone from the VA because his grave in Atlanta is unmarked)

It had been placed by December 1, 2010.]
