The above infomration was obtained from Betty Angstadt Edwards. His birthdate was obtained from the Family Bible.
I-4 Nathaniel Smith Tombow was born 12 February 1843 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He may be named after his maternal grandfather.
Nathaniel, or "Than", as he is called by his descendants, enlisted as a private in the Civil War at Dalton, Ohio, on 12 February 1862. He served in Co. E of the 6lst Regiment of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was engaged in the following battles: Freeman's Ford, VA, August 23-25, 1862; Bull Run, August 30; Chancellorsville, May l-4, 1863; Battle of Gettysburg, July 2-4; Wauhatchie, TN, October 27; Lookout Valley, October 28; Lookout Mountain, November 24; Missisu Ridge, November 25; Resaca, GA, May 13-16, 1864; Dallas, GA May 25-June 4; Kenesaw Mt, June 19-27; Peach Tree Creek, July 20; Siege of Atlanta, July 28-Sept 2, and Sherman's March to the Sea, November 15 to December 10, 1864, and many minor skirmishes, according to an easel monument dedicated to Than by his wife on 15 June 1896. Nathaniel was honorably discharge at Goldsboro, N.C., 6 April 1865.
Nathaniel also served with the 82nd Ohio Voluntary Infant in 1865, according to the Civil War Roster of Ohio Soldiers, Vol. V.
Other particulars of his career in the army are found in the company muster rolls in the National Archives. He served both as a cook and as a brigade teamster. He was promoted to the rank of corporal 8 April 1862, but reduced to ranks on 9 December 1862. On 10 December 1862, he entered the Hospital, presumably from wounds suffered in the War and alluded to in the above referenced letter from his aunt and uncle Lydia Tombow and Benjamin Groff to his mother.
His military papers describe him at enlistment as 5'9", grey eyes, dark- haired, light-complected and by occupation a farmer. He was of average height for a male at that time in history.
Nathaniel Tombow married Mary Ann Obendorf, daughter of Jacob and Mary Slogan Obendorf on 10 May 1866 in Stark County, Ohio, according to marriage records of the County.
According to his great-granddaughter, Betty A. Edwards, Than became a carpenter, following in the footsteps of his father, John Tombow. Than built fancy buggies, made wheels for the buggies and painted them. He was also a blacksmith. Both he and his wife spoke German. He was instrumental in building the Methodist Church in E. Greenville.
N. S. Tanbow (sic) is mentioned as an early settler in E. Greenville, Ohio, in H.T.O. Blue's History of Stark County, Ohio (1928), Vol. I, p.267.
Nathaniel died on 8 February 1902 in E. Greenville, Ohio, and is buried in the Cemetery there behind the house where he lived and raised his family. His wife, Mary Ann, died in 1912 at the age of 65 (She was born in 1847). She is buried in the E. Greenville Cemetery and a marker commemorates their graves.
Nathaniel's house still survives and a picture of Nathaniel and his family sitting in front of this house accompanies this History.
Artifacts from his Civil War Days still exist among his descendants and include his letters and the buttons from his uniform. Family oral tradition states that the uniform itself was used for rags. Large portraits of Nathaniel Tombow and his wife Mary Ann Obendorf are still held by his descendants.
