The Cambria freeman. (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938: June 13, 1867
Litzinger, Thomas D
We are pained to hear of the death of Adjt. Thomas D. Litzinger, which occurred at
Tyrone on Sunday last. Mr. Litzinger was the eldest son by the second marriage of
the late Charles Litzinger of Ebensburg. At the commencement of the rebellion young
Litzinger, though but a boy, joined the Cambria Guards, afterwards known as Company
A., 11th Penna. Reserves, in the capacity of drummer. In 1862 he voluntarily left
the post of safety in the drummer corps. and sought that of danger in the ranks. He
was captured at Gaines' Mills and remained a prisoner three months. In January,
1863, he was made Sergeant Major, and in September, 1863, when Col. M'Coy attained
to his position as Major, young Litzinger was appointed Adjutant of the regiment. He
remained in the service until the completion of his term, when he was honorably
discharged. He was in every battle in which the gallant Reserves participated,
excepting those occurring during his imprisonment, and bore the reputation of a
brave and faithful soldier. His remains were brought to this place on Tuesday and
interred in St. Patrick's Cemetery. May he rest in peace.
