91st PA--Emanuel T Mack

Emanuel T Mack

Note on identification

Two Emanuel Mack's of approximately the right age lived in Philadelphia.+ One was born in Germany; the other in Philadelphia. The one born in Germany had a child who died in 1870, buried in Glenwood Cemetery. One of the Emanuel Mack's was buried in Glenwood Cemetery, on 18 April 1884. Since according to the National Soldier Home reports claims the Mack who served in the 91st was born in Pennsylvania, I have assumed the Philadelphia-born Mack is the one who served in the 91st. Perhaps the coincidence of the burial places of the Mack who died in 1884 (unlike the Mack who died in the 91st) and of the German-born Mack's child provides some support for that assumption. (See the end of the "Sources" for references for the German-born Mack.)
