And he is indeed buried next to brother John in Nisky Hill Cemetary,,I saw them myself on Sunday,,,Well I guess that answers the question,,between all the results found from everyone,,Charles DID indeed serve. I noticed it appears all 3 boys served at different times, and I'm guessing so that it didn't leave mother home alone. When the war broke out she was already a widow, and had already buried 3 of her 6 children,,the 3 boys were all she had left, so they took turns staying with her throughout the war, instead of all 3 running off at once leaving her completely alone. Thank you all for being so gracious with your time, and this information will be added to historical interpretation of the Schropp Dry Goods Store museum in Bethlehem.

The Moravian settlement in Bethlehem Pennsylvania was recently designated a World Heritage Site, so Bethlehem museums and sites organization is upping their museum game and I'm helping them by squeezing in and raising awareness of the Moravian contribution within the community, during the Civil War. Even though the Moravians were historically quite anti war pacifists, their position softened considerably when the civil war broke out, as they saw the war as a unique war. Not fought over land, resources, Govts, but over freedoms and the protection of the Union as a whole. So the Moravian support for the war, is history that needs to be included, not swept away, and I am grateful to have them show interest in increasing the civil war history presence within their agenda, as opposed to so many who are trying to erase it
