When Martin Herbstritt was born on August 22, 1847, in Benzinger, Pennsylvania, his father, Karl "Charles" Herbstritt, was 36 and his mother, Margaretha Paul Herbstritt, was 37. Early in the Civil War, Martin and his two older brothers, Charles and Peter mustered into the Union Army. Martin and Peter survived but Charles was wounded at Gettysburg buried at the Prospect Hill Cemetery so far from home that it's doubtful his parents ever got to visit his grave site. Martin's father died the same year.

After the war was over, Martin married Mary Hagerman Krieg and they had 16 children together. On March 23, 1892 Mary passed away.
He then married Margaret Kreckle and they had one daughter together. He died on January 17, 1906, in St Marys, Pennsylvania, at the age of 58, and was buried there.

Susan Herbstritt I went to Charles grave to pay respect back in 1989. He is buried in the soldiers circle. Prospect Cemetery is in York. We took blue and gold flowers to put on his grave.
