Andreas was born in 1830, in Bavaria, son of Andreas Münch and Anna Hert also born in that country. He died Feb. 22, 1887, in Grant Twp., Dunn Co., Wis., aged about 57 years, and was buried in the Auburn Cemetery in nearby Chippewa Co., Wis.. His military style gravestone there is inscribed "Andreas Moench Co. C 9 Wis. Inf." A G.A.R. flag holder was next to his gravestone.

On Aug. 22, 1852, Andreas was united in marriage to Anna Fisher, at St. Trinity's Catholic Church, 116 East Holey Street, Brooklyn, New York. Anna was born in about 1826, in Bavaria, daughter of Pamratus Fisher and Margaret Burger, also born in that country. Her date and place of death and burial are unknown. Their three known children, all born in Wis., were:

John, b. 1861;
Andreas, b. 1863; &
Lena Muench, b. 4 Apr 1873, Vernon Co., Wis.

Andreas was a Civil War veteran of Company C, 9th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment. On Jan. 4, 1864, Andreas using the name of Andreas Munech, enlisted at LaCrosse, Wis., to serve three years as a Private in Co. F and was apparently mustered into Federal service the same day. At that time he received $60.00 of his $300.00 enlistment bounty, one month's advance pay and was listed as a 35 year old, 5'6" tall farmer with brown hair, blue eyes and a sandy complexion born in Germany. His enlistment was credited to LaCrosse, LaCrosse Co., Wis., First Sub District.

On the muster roll of July/August, 1864, it was noted that Andreas was on sick furlough since Aug. 13, 1864, and owed the U.S. $4.05 for transportation from Little Rock, Arkansas to Memphis, Tenn. On the muster roll of Sep./Oct, 1864, it was noted that he was present, owed the sutler $10.00 and his pay stopped $17.95 for transportation. On Dec. 3, 1864, Andreas was mustered out of Federal service at Milwaukee, transferred to Co. C of the same regiment under a reorganization authorized by War Dept. Circular No. 36, dated May 2, 1864. At that time it was noted that he was due $200.00 of his enlistment bounty. On the muster roll of Nov./Dec., 1865, it was noted that he owed the sutler $12.00.

On January 30, 1866, Andreas was mustered out of Federal service with Company C at Little Rock, Arkansas. On the muster out roll it was noted that he was due $120.00 of his enlistment bounty less $6.00 for arms and equipment retained. This meant that he retained his rifle and accouterments. It was also noted that he owed $12.50 to sutler H. Davis and $5.32 to the Regimental sutler Herman Weneger for Dec. 1865 and Jan. 6, 1866. Enlisted in original Co. F and became member of new Co. C at reorganization.
