- Obituary from Find a Grave.
In Memorium. Rev. Christian G. Eichenberg was the son of Peter and Wilhelmena Eichenberg. He was born on the 16th day of Dec. A. D. 1816, in Germany, in Rinteln Kreis Schaumburg, Kurfurstenstine, Hesse. He was baptized by Rev. Patri, a pastor of the Reformed Church. He was confirmed as a member of the Reformed church in his his 14th year. He studied in Germany, came to America in his 27th year. Shortly after he was ordained to the office of the holy ministry by the East Pennsylvania Class of The Reformed Church, in the United States. He was married to Mary Ann Achenback, from Plainfield, Northampton Co., Pa., at Easton, June 24th, 1848, by Rev. M. Harpel. He died of some sort of abdominal affection-tumor in the bowels it is supposed. Shortly before he died he said "I am glad!" He told his wife to read the 466th hymn of the Reformed hymn book in German. He died on the 12th of June, at 4 p. m., aged 63 years, 5 months, and 26 days. His funeral text was 1 Tim. 3; 14 15. Rev. Eichenberg did work for three men. He was a farmer, a business man and a minister. He never had a day of rest--a Sabbath like other men. He never took the minister's Sabbath--Monday--as a day of rest. He was never idle, always busy. Besides his farm and business cares, he studied a good deal. He was a good sermonizer and preacher, especially in his younger days. He could expound and explain Scripture. His sense of right was greatly developed, which was ready at all times to resist unrighteousness and dishonesty. He was a man who was straight forward in and from the pulpit. Laborer, rest in peace.
