General Notes: Husband - George Von Hoffmann

---

He held the title of major in the army of Napoleon I. In the host of that commander he had risen from the rank of private and held an honored position, standing high in the estimation of his leader. He was one of the vast army of more than half a million men who invaded Russia under Napoleon's command, and penetrating as far as Moscow were there compelled by famine and suffering to retrace their steps. More than three-fourths of the gallant band that had so boldly set out upon that campaign fell by the wayside, victims either of exposure or the deadly attacks of the Cossacks. George Von Hoffmann was one of the survivors of the disastrous retreat, and died in Bavaria, his birthplace.
