Between 1862 and 1865, he served as a Private in Company F, 150th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Infantry and in 1864 relocated
to 6 Westford Avenue in North Philadelphia (Ward 13) with his wife and five children, Rebecca (b. ca. 1851), Theresa (b. ca.
1853), Louis (b. ca. 1856), Adolph (b. ca. 1857) and Raphael (b. ca. 1861). The family remained at the address until 1875.
After this time, Goldbacher's residence and occupations changed frequently. He worked as a plater, polisher and turner until
admitted to the solders' home in Hampton, Virginia in 1889. By 1893, Goldbacher returned to Philadelphia and he and his wife
lived with his son-in-law and printer Leopold D. Goodman until his death in 1905.
