Robert Seal_1Robert, Wow, this must have taken you quite a while to do. Bless and thank you. Everything makes sense: Anna Maria, née "Cammerin", surviving widow of the late Joh[ann] Georg Scholl, former citizen here. Georg died in 1764 and Anna Maria Cammerin died in 1781. She outlived him 17 years. Some spouses outlive their mates quite a while. My own grandmother outlived my grandfather by 28 years and she told me she was very lonely. You amaze me with your translation, research and diligence. All the best, Kent

You're welcome Kent. My own grandmother outlived her husband by 37 years and almost four months.

Robert Seal_1 Wow, and I thought 28 years was a long time to be alone. I like the translation you did a few weeks ago: :
Note that husband Johannes Hager (record no. 5) and wife Christina (Krauss) Hager (record no. 6) died within five hours of each other on 12/13 January 1886. Thanks, Kent
