A Civil War veteran, he first enlisted and mustered in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, April 27, 1861, as a private (says the company register; 2nd lieutenant says his pension index) with Co. A, 14th Pennsylvania Infantry, and honorably discharged with his company August 7, 1861. He then enlisted in Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, August 22, 1861, and mustered into federal service at Pittsburgh October 11 as 1st sergeant of Battery B, Independent Pennsylvania Light Artillery. He re-enlisted as a Veteran Volunteer ca. January 1, 1864, and was promoted to 2nd lieutenant January 11, 1864 and to 1st lieutenant August 16, 1864. He suffered a painful flesh wound when a shell fragment struck him in the left side of the back at the battle of Resaca, Georgia, May 15, 1864. Furloughed home to Reading, he there applied for disability discharge. Upon hearing he had received promotion to 1st lieutenant to date August 16, 1864, he returned to active duty and honorably discharged with the battery October 12, 1865.
He stood 5' 10" tall and had dark hair and dark eyes.
On March 7, 1955, Salt Lake County graves registrar Robert W. Inscore ordered a federally issued tombstone for Hassinger's grave. That application only lists Hassinger's service with the 14th Pennsylvania Infantry and contains the note "no subsequent service," thus carving out more than four years of his military service. The likely reason is that the only documentation Inscore had available only reflected Hassinger's first and relatively brief army service.

In 1880, he lived in Bodie, Mono County, California (see census), but was a member of Lincoln Post No. 2, G.A.R. in Butte, Silver Bow County, Montana. According to Headstones Provided for Deceased Union Civil War Veterans, 1861-1904 he is buried in Mount Moriah Cemetery in Butte.
The file "Headstones Provided for Deceased Union Civil War Veterans, 1861-1904", claims he is buried in Mount Moriah Cemetery, Butte, Silver Bow County, Montana, where he had been a member.
