Person:Elizabeth Unknown (2137)

On Dec. 22, 1726, a year after her last child was born, Elisabetha died and was buried at the Reformed Church in Alsheim bei Gronau.

On the 22nd of November was Johannes Hodel's wife, Elisabetha buried, her age 40 years 3 months and 14 days. Note: The original translation of Herr Paul was provided on 25 July 1995 who read the information directly from the old church records as if he were reading the printed text above. At Tom Speelman's request, Herr Paul transcribed the records in German and provided them to me. Remembering most of the translation, and with the help of the host translation which you see above.

The first wife, Elisabetha, mother of these first four children, died and was buried at Alsheim on 22 Dec 1726, her age being 40 years, 3 months, 14 days, so she was born c. 8 Sep 1686. (From this fact we may guess that Johannes the immigrant was born about the year 1685.)
