He served through the civil war and was discharged at New York in October, 1865 as corporal. Within sixty days from his discharge he re enlisted in Co. G, 5th US Cavalry December 11, 1865, as teamster; discharged December 11, 1868. The next spring he again enlisted in Co.

Grabill, and Egidius George. Mr. Schoenberger lived in Yates City until the death of his wife in 1908, when he went to Montana to live with his sons.
He later took up a homestead on the north fork of Flathead River within the boundaries of what is now Glacier National Park.
In later years he found his chief pleasure and contentment in the company of his old comrades at the Montana Soldiers' Home, where he lived many years, visiting his children at times, but ever eager to return to the home with his comrades.
Mr. Schoenberger was one of Yates City's best known residents, and when residing here was one of the most active citizens, serving the village as Marshall, and otherwise carrying on the duties of a good citizen, faithful soldier and honest friend and neighbor.
