Dates prior to emigration to Canada are assumed to be given according to the Julian ("old world") calendar, which was 12 days behind the Gregorian (modern) calendar in the 1800's.
The date 25 Mar 1853 is positioned to appear to be the death date of son Johan Sawatzki, but according to page B8, he died 5 Jun 1855. Therefore, it is possible to interpret 25 Mar 1853 as the date Magaretha died, and 28 Mar 1853 as the date she was buried.
