Mathias Willbarger died 29 August 1841, at the age of 29 years, 5 months and 21 days. He is buried at Sanctuary Cemetery which is located in Raccoon twp. Gallia Co. Ohio. There is also a Francis Willbarger s/o M. & M. J. died 21 April 1863 age 24 years, 2 months and 13 days. Company A 56 O.V.I.(Ohio Volunteer Infantry?). He surely is the son of Mathias and was a very small child at the time of his father's death.
