[1843] 13.VI. / 18.VI.

Melchior Siedler alt fähr v(on) Ott(enbach)

(see below) / 54 - 5 - 16

See 1.15) Melchior Sidler oo 1816 Barbara Wydler for the explanation of "alt fähr": he had once leased the ferry service across the Reuss, but not at the time of his death ("alt …" means retired).

I am not absolutely sure about the word just before the numbers - but assume these are names of the medical Dr. who has declared the person as dead: there are many with a "Dr.", and one page up it states "viele Ärzte" (many medics); there are several Hegetschweiler and Schweizer (with and without title, often abbreviated, later often with just a single letter). In this case likely Gamp(ert): not abbreviated in other entries - and in 1836 a Gampert line had acquired the citizenship of Ottenbach.

Now that is a little different. Doctors and Medics listed. Melchior's burial entry turns out to be quite interesting. Always something new! Thanks, Kent

https://community.familysearch.org/en/profile/WSeelentag I'm not sure if we have talked about Dr. Hegetschweiler before but the research you have done on his daughter Luisa is amazing. I found Dr. Hegetschweiler's burial record and will put it in for a translation. This is amazing stuff!!! Kent
