Barbara Wirth

  Noted events in her life were:

1. She has conflicting burial information of Graves moved to Mount Lebanon Cemetery, Nov 1898 and Lebanon, Lebanon, PA. ¹ Barbara Wirth Embich was originally buried in the old Salem Lutheran Church yard cemetery that was behind the Salem Lutheran Church on the corner of 8th and Willow Streets and set apart for burial purposes in 1765.
Unfortunately, when the cemetery land was needed by the church for a new Memorial Chapel and parking lot, the old cemetery graves were reinterred in September-November 1898 to Mount Lebanon Cemetery in a single vault with no identification. The church notes for the graves show some of the tombstone inscriptions were unreadable. Luckily, some but not all of the tombstone inscriptions were described years earlier in Egle's History of Lebanon County published in 1883. Among the tombstones read according to Egle:
Embich, Barbara, b. 24 Sep 1792 d. 2 Feb 1823
Embich, Jacob, b. 12 Oct 1754 d. 19 Oct 1819
Embich, Maria Cath. wf. of Jacob, b. 11 Oct 1754 d. 22 Apr 1836

Another list of burials including some not mentioned by Egle is in Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church; Lebanon, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania; burial records, 1773-1876 by Frederick Weiser, published in 1969.
