| Benjamin Keebler | Benjamin Keebler was born November 2, 1848 in Germany. He emigrated to the United States and was a veteran of the Civil War, serving with E Co, 2nd New Hampshire Infantry and was one of three surviving veterans honored by Delanco on Memorial Day about 1920. (See photo in Delanco Archive). He married Mary E. Keebler in 1877. Ben was an honorary member of the Riverside Fire Department. He ran the old boiler room in the Keystone Watch Case Building and once saved the structure by quick work on an over-pressurized tank. His work so impressed owner, Theophilus Zurbrugg, that when Theophilus died, he left Ben $500 in his will. Ben was still listed as a veteran living in Delanco in a Veteran’s Day tribute in 1928. Ben died May 12, 1932 in Riverside at age 83 and was buried next to Mary in Bridgeboro Street Cemetery in Riverside. | Union Army, Rank? | E Co, 2nd NH Inf | Civil War | 1847 - 1932 |
