| Notes |
- The following biography of Eli was taken from a USGENWEB.com transacription of portions of BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW, VOLUME XXXII, CONTAINING LIFE SKETCHES OF LEADING CITIZENS OF BEDFORD AND SOMERSET COUNTIES, PENNSYLVANIA, BOSTON: BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW PUBLISHING COMPANY, 1899:
CAPTAIN ELI EICHELBERGER, one of the Associate Judges of Bedford County, Pennsylvania, has for many years been actively identified with the mining, mercantile, and political interests of this section of the State, but more especially of the town of Saxton, in which he resides. He was born January 4, 1840, in Bedford County, which was the native place of his parents, James and Susan (Adams) Eichelberger.
After completing his education, which was principally obtained in the common schools, he enlisted, April 23, 1861, in Company F, Eighth Pennsylvania Reserves, of which he was at once commissioned First Lieutenant. Two years and a half later, in consequence of vacancy, he was promoted to the rank of Captain, and in that capacity had command of his company until mustered out of service. With the Army of the Potomac, to which the Reserves were attached, he took part in the seven days' fight before Richmond, the second battle of Bull Run, and in the battle of the Wilderness, where he was seriously wounded in the left thigh. As soon as he had recovered sufficiently to travel, he was discharged from the service, in October, 1864, and at once returned to his old home in Bedford County.
In January, 1867, Captain Eichelberger established himself in the mercantile business in Saxton, Pa., as junior member of the firm of J. A. & E. Eichelberger, which existed a full quarter of a century, but, by reason of inevitable changes, is now E. Eichelberger & Sons, with the Captain at its head. He has also been actively associated with other prominent enterprises of the county, having been for a number of years one of the firm of Eichelberger & Sons, proprietors of the Hopewell Furnace, and since 1891 an extensive operator in coal, his mineral beds being located in Huntingdon County. For eighteen years Captain Eichelberger served most acceptably as Postmaster at Saxton, and in 1898 he had the honor of being elected Associate Judge of the county for a term of five years.
Politically, he is a Republican and a vigorous supporter of the principles and measures advocated by his party. Fraternally, he is a member of the G.A.R. Post at Saxton; of the Everett Lodge, No. 524, F & A.M., at Everett, Pa.; and of the Hopewell Lodge, I. O. O. F., of Hopewell. He is a liberal contributor to religious organizations and an active member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
Captain Eichelberger has been twice married. His first wife, Helen M. Wishart, died in early life, leaving one son, James A. He subsequently married Miss Maggie Ashcom, of Bedford County, Pennsylvania, by whom he has had two children, namely: Robert, deceased; and Coolidge.

The foregoing article is the basis for believing the Maggie Ashcom was Eli's wife.
