On Sept. 13, 1861, Horlebein enlisted in Co. E, 87th Pennsylvania Volunteers Infantry. He was among 59 soldiers captured on June 23, 1864 by the Confederates during the Battle of Weldon Railroad, near Petersburg, VA.

Members of Camp 33 rededicated the graves of Civil War Generals William B. Franklin
and Michael P. Small in Prospect Hill Cemetery, York. The stone markers on the
graves were beginning to show wear and become hard to read. The new markers
duplicated the wording of the original stones and they were placed adjacent to the
originals.
