  • Notes 
    • Obit: Herald of Truth, Vol. XXXIX, No. 15, August 1, 1902, page 239:
      “EICHELBERGER.-July 3rd, 1902, near Flanagan, Ill., George Eichelberger, aged 85 Y., 1 M., 16 D. He leaves four sons and five daughters to mourn his departure, yet not as those who leave no hope. Funeral services at the Amish Mennonite M. H., near Hopedale, by Jno. C. Birky, J. P. Smith, Daniel Slagel and Jos. Egli. Interment in the A. M. graveyard west of Hopedale.”

      A joint headstone in Hopedale Mennonite Cemetery describes the couple as "George Eichelberger, May 17, 1817-July 3, 1902" and "Fanny Stalter, August 7, 1831-Sept. 16, 1880." They are buried in the same family plot as Elizabeth Birkey, the wife of Jacob Eichelberger.
      George died at the home of his daughter Anna near Flanagan, Illinois in 1902.
      Probably a brother to Jacob Eichelberger who married Elizabeth Birky.
