Translation/Transcription Request
I have a death record with more information than I'm used to! (All good things!)
This is for Joseph Schilling, aged 44.
At the time, from my records, he would have had 2 sons, aged 12 & 16, and his wife, Theresia Gerlach. I think he was born in Suttrop, but I haven't verified that for myself, yet.
Can you help me to read this? I think he died on 25 April and was buried on 29 April 1847, in Essentho. I think it records who he left behind and his cause of death.

Thank you both so so much! This helps confirm his two children. A few years later, his wife also died, never remarrying. The two sons came to the US and eventually the family started one of the largest lumber companies in the area. It is so great to find these roots. It was odd to only find two children, but this is more evidence that they probably didn't have any other children. (I'm still going through the death records to see if there are any that maybe were missed).
