George Bittner/Wheeling, West VA/1880
Hi, I am looking for any info about George Bittner who lived in Wheeling, West VA according to 1880 Census. Was born in Germany in 1835. Was from Pennsylavania and was married to Amelia. Served in Civil War, drafted in PA in Sept.1863 and served until end of war. Primarily want to know why his children Fred, Louis and Eddie ended up in the Iowa Soldier's and Orphans Home, later called the Anniw Wittenmeyer Home (Davenport, IA). Would like to know when and where he died, maybe where he is buried. Any thing would be helpful. Thank you very much. Jerry
