From Jeanette (Wells) Schmalzbauer:

Date of death for Malachi Arthur is February 16, 1863 based on his Civil War pension record for spouse Elizabeth Thompson Arthur. No Children. Record states regimental April and May records claim he "Died of Disease, January 24, 1863, on the hospital boat". However, report from Surgeon General's office has his death as February 16, 1863 at Jefferson Barracks from Typhoid Fever. Other State records indicate he was first buried at Christ Church in St. Louis Missouri and was a Private. All other records indicate he was a 4th Sgt. He was re-interred at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery.
