Egloffstein -( EG-lahf-SHTIEN ) as in Frederick Wilhelm von Eglotstein, Colonel U.S.V.

Colonel Egloffstein was a baron and prior to the Civil War was a topographical artist in his native Germany. During the war he became colonel of the 103rd New York, which fought at South Mountain and Antietam, as well as being part of Sherman’s March. Egloffstein was breveted brigadier general for his services in the conflict and after the war returned to Germany. Here he became a engraver and also developed the half-tone process of engraving.

Von Egloffstein is a German name, of course. Pronouncing the ’st’ in ’stein’ with the ’sch’ sound is proper, however, just saying it as stine will suffice.
