On 19 Dec 1864, a letter was written by Sugust Stiner in support of Piepenbring's widow's pension claim. In it Stiner says he was taken captive along with George Piepenbring on 27 May 1864. They were prisoners together at Andersonville, Georgia. Stiner was at Piepenbring's side when Piepenbring died on 24 Sep 1864 of scurvy and camp diarrhoea.

Piepenbring was survived by his wife, Christina, and daughter, Amelia. Christina then married George Koerkel on 25 Apr 1868 in Cincinnati, Ohio

A son by Koerkel was born 4 Nov 1868, John Koerkel, 7 months after they got married. Then George Koerkel skipped out on the family never to be heard of again. Christina took her first husband's last name of Piepenbring back again
