    during the U. S. Civil War 

    •      Some secondary sources report that Frederick first enlisted in the Thirteenth Missouri Volunteer Infantry, was taken prisoner by the Confederate forces during the Battle of Lexington, Missouri, was released on parole and then exchanged. This information has not yet been confirmed. The 13th Missouri Infantry did participate in the first Battle of Lexington, which took place 13-20 September 1861. All Federal forces were taken prisoner and paroled.
           On 19 December 1861, Frederick enlisted as a private in Company K of the 16th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment, which had arrived in St. Joseph, Missouri in September 1861 and stayed in the area until late January 1862. Frederick was described at the time in regimental records as an 18 year old unmarried farmer, a resident of St. Joseph, Missouri, 5' 6" tall, with light complexion, light hair and grey eyes.
           Although his initial commitment was for three years, he re-enlisted as a veteran in October 1863 at Bridgeport, Alabama.
           Again, secondary sources report that Frederick died in March 1865 in the Battle of Bentonville, North Carolina, the last engagement for the regiment in the war. This has not been confirmed.

    • Details of the marriage are not known at this time. Philip and Caroline were natives of Bavaria and they did not immigrate with their family to the USA until about 1852. Their son, George, one of eight children, was born in 1849 in Bavaria. It has therefore been assumed, without verification, that the marriage took place in Bavaria.

      Biography of George Arnhold.
           "He [Philip Arnhold, son of John Arnhold] married Caroline Klos, a native of Bavaria. She survived him, passing away at the venerable age of eighty-two years. Eight children were born of their marriage, as follows: Karl, Caroline, Philip, Sophie, Jacob, Frederick, Charlotte, and George."
           It has been assumed that as both parents were natives of Bavaria and that as their son, George, was born in 1849, some time before the family's emigration to the USA about 1852, therefore, all the children were born in Bavaria. This assumption needs to be confirmed.

           "Our subject’s father, likewise a contractor for stone and brick masonry, was married in the Fatherland, and in 1852 crossed the broad Atlantic with his wife and family of eight children. After a voyage of fifty-six days from Havre to New Orleans, they came up the river to St. Louis, and a few months later, in June, 1852, settled in St. Joseph."

      Biographical sketch of Captain Philip Arnholt.
           Writing about Captain Philip Arnholt's brother: "Frederick was in the Sixteenth Illinois Infantry, having enlisted in 1861, and at the end of thirteen months was taken prisoner at Lexington. He was exchanged, and served until killed in the battle near Goldsboro in 1865, after Lee’s surrender."
           There is a problem with the timeline presented in this account. If Frederick were taken prisoner at Lexington thirteen months after enlisting in 1861, this must have occurred any time between February 1862 at the earliest and January 1863 at the latest. The first Battle of Lexington took place in September 1861, and the second battle happened in October 1864.
