Birth: 1830 Hamburg Berks County Pennsylvania, USA Death: Jul. 15, 1903 Washington District of Columbia District Of Columbia, USA. ...... On a quiet summer morning, Anne Wagner drove a grave marker into the ground at St. John`s Lutheran Cemetery in Hamburg. Then, she placed an American flag aside thetombstone of her great-great-uncle, Col. William G.W. Iaeger. Iaeger had fought in the Mexican War (1846-48), but his grave had never been marked with a flag on Memorial Day. Based on Wagner`s research, the Berks County veteransaffairs office added Iaeger to its list of honorees. Wagner stumbled upon the oversight while doing a family history, which she started in December. Her research found that Iaeger was born in Hamburg, the son of Gotlieb and Mary (Audenried) Iaeger, sometimes written as Jaeger. He died at age 81 while onbusiness in Washington, D.C., in 1903. The headline on the obituary in the Washington Post on July 16, 1903, read, "Friend of Lincoln Dead: Col. WilliamG.W. Iaeger Carried Off After Brief Illness." William G. W.
