Horatio Lumbard enlisted in the Fourth Michigan Infantry on November 14, 1862, and was commissioned as First Lieutenant in Company K. He was then mustered into Federal service on December 18, 1862. On July 2, 1863, Acting Regimental Adjutant Lumbard was taken prisoner at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and was confined as a prisoner of war at Macon, Georgia and Columbia, South Carolina. Lumbard was paroled as a convalescent with "debility" at Camp Asylum, Columbia, South Carolina. He was mustered out by Special Order No. 455 War Department on December 19, 1864.
Horatio married Emily Downs (born Feb 4, 1825, in New York) on February 8, 1842, in New York. Together they had a daughter, Mary A. Lumbard, who was born in October of 1843. Emily had died by sometime in 1865. Horatio had two younger brothers who also served in the Fourth Michigan Infantry, George W. Lumbard and Francis M. Lumbard. Colonel George Lumbard died on May 6, 1864, during the battle of the Wilderness, Virginia. On June 13, 1865, Horatio Lumbard, himself a widower with a young daughter, married Emily Davis Lumbard, the widow of his brother George in Sylvan, Michigan. Horatio and Emily had one child together, Edward C. Lumbard. He joined the other three children of the family which included the two children that Emily had with George, (George Washington Lumbard and Warren Davis Lumbard) and Horatio's daughter, Mary. Emily and Horatio must have divorced sometime before 1875, as she is shown as being married to Dr. John Duboise North on April 5, 1875.

Horatio is listed as living in St. Charles, Illinois with his daughter, Mary in the 1860 census.
