    1801 Mart(ius) 14

    Felix

    Rud(olf) Jentas z(u) Etenhausen e(hlich) g(eborenes) Söhnli

    1. 6. 8. Pok(en)

    So Felix died from samallpox, aged 1 year, 6 months, 8 days.

    The letter before Etenhausen looks always a bit different - here more like z (for zu), but also like v (for von) - doesn't make any difference, Ettenhausen is always the place of residence.

    I just note that the age doesn't seem to be correct:

    born 1798 09 06

    plus .….. 1 06 08

    = ….. 1799 15 14

    = ….. 1800 03 14 …. not 1801 03 14

    https://community.familysearch.org/en/profile/WSeelentag If the entry is in 1801, the age should be 2 years 6 months 8 days in the death record. Seeing as the Pastor wrote the entry in 1801, when the death occurred, the date of the year seems to be in error. Pastor's mistake?

    Correct - should be 2 years … but most likely not the year of death will be in error (the pastor wouldn't wait for a year to note this), but the age … and yes, I would say pastor's mistake - when calculating the age.

    https://community.familysearch.org/en/profile/WSeelentag Sounds good. That's what I thought. The Pastor had no idea we would be pouring through these records noting every single detail.
