Husband of Mary Jane Heinkel Seiders
Married March 24, 1864
Israel Seiders was born on 1 Sep 1838 in Watts Twp., Perry Co., Pennsylvania. HIs father was Henry Seiders (Zeiders) and his mother was Mary Jane Miller Seiders, a daughter of Christina Jane Enders Miller. He served with Company A, 172nd Pennsylvania Drafter Militia from 22 Oct 1962 to 31 Jul 1863. On 2 Dec 1862, the regiment proceeded to Washington and after a halt of two days moved by transports to Newport News, Virginia. It remained for a week, busily engaged in drill, at the end of which, they marched to Yorktown and relieved the 52nd Pennsylvania at the fort. Here the 172nd was soon settled in quarters where it spent the greater part of its term of service. The troops were kept employed in garrison duty and drill in infantry, light and heavy artillery practice. Early in Jul 1863, it was ordered to Washington and then proceeded to Hagerstown, Maryland where it was atached to the Eleventh Corps. It joined in pursuit of the Confederate Army to Williamsport and after the escape of the enemy across the Potomac, marched with the Eleventh Corps to Warrenton Junction. Its term of service then expired and the regiment returned to Harrisburg where it was mustered out on 1 Aug 1863.
On 29 Mar 1864, Israel reenlisted in Company H, 187th Pennsylvania Voluneteer Infantry. His military records describe him as being 5' 6" tall, with gray eyes, dark hair and a dark complexion. Like most of the men written about in this book, Israel suffered hardships during his military service. Upon arriving at the lines of Petersburg, Virginia, on the night of 16 Jun 1864, the 187th Pennsylvania had the following experience as described in History of the First Battalion Pennsylvania Six Months Volunteers and 187th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry by James M. Gibbs:
On 18 Jun 1864, Israel participated in the fierce charge led by Colonel Joshua Chamberlain at Petersburg. Both champerlain and Israel's brother Joseph were seriously wounded in the engagement. The regiment was next in action on the Jerusalem Plank Road and Weldon Railroad 21-23 Jun and held in reserve during the Battle of the Crater on 30 Jul. They then fought in the battle for the Weldon railroad, 18-21 Aug. The 187th remained at Petersburg until 22 Sep 1864 when they were ordered to Philadelphia for garrison and escort duy at camp Cadwalader. They also served as Guard of Honor over remains of President Lincoln in Independence Hall, Philadelphia and escort to the funeral cortege in May 1865. Israel was mustered out as a Private on 3 Aug 1865.
Before the war, Israel married Elizabeth Francis Williams, born 20 Jun 1840, on 16 Sep 1860 in Buchanan County, Missouri. The couple had a child, Mary Jane born 6 Sep 1860. Elizabeth died on 9 Jun 1862, and Israel returned with their daughter to Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. Buchanan County, Missouri, was the home of Israeal's first cousin, Daniel Seal Jr., who joined the Confederate Army and received a mortal wound at the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain. Though purely speculation, it could be assumed that Israel and his brothers had close ties with their cousin Daniel. In 1850, 8 year old Daniel spent the summers in Enders visiting with the many relatives there. Daniel's mother Catherine was the sister of Israel's mother Mary. On 24 Mar 1864, Israel married Mary Jane Heinkel. Three children were born & died of this union, though they raised the child of the first marriage. Israel died on 3 May 1904 and his wife Mary Jane died 15 Aug 1914 in Harrisburg. Mary Jane Seiders, Israel's daughter, eventually married a man named Charles Masner.
