Notizen zu dieser Person
Adolph Dennig was the son of George A. Dennig. While death records and his tombstone indicate the spelling of his given name as "Adolph," other records show the spelling as "Adolphus." Enlisting 24 April 1861 as a Private in Company G of the 9th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Infantry, Adolph Dennig was one of the Civil War's early responders who performed their three months' service in response to President Abraham Lincoln's call for troops following Confederate aggression toward Union forts in the South. After mustering out with that regiment at Harrisburg, Dauphin County on 29 July 1861, he re-enlisted on 16 September 1861, this time mustering in with Company A of the 47th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Volunteers. He was commissioned as an officer - a 2nd Lieutenant, and helped to defend the nation's capital again before being transferred with the 47th to serve in Florida, fight in the Battle of Pocotaligo in South Carolina (October 1862), perform garrison duties at Fort Taylor in Florida (1863), fight in General Nathaniel Banks' Red River Campaign in Louisiana (March-May1864), and fight again during Sheridan's 1864 Shenandoah Campaign. Granted leave from Fort Taylor in October and November 1863, his commanders once again displayed their confidence in Dennig by promoting him to the rank of Captain on 1 November 1864. Adolph Dennig mustered out with his regiment on 25 December 1865. A pension record filed from Pennsylvania by his widow on 29 July 1890 confirms his wife's name as "Louisa Dennig." He died in Northampton County, Pennsylvania of typhoid fever on 17 October 1880, and was interred at the Easton Cemtery there on October 20.
