    Attached is the death record of Franz August Johansen Mård, died August 25, the last entry on the page. I cannot read the cause of death. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you. I believe all the location information is at the top. I got it from Ancestry, a hint that matched my great-grandfather's information.

      Hi!
      First I checked his birth record, his name is Frans August Johansson or Frans August Mård
      https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0023259_00018#c=&m=&s=&cv=17&xywh=2653%2C570%2C2809%2C1526

      His death record, I tried to change the brightness and contrast
      https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/80007877_00028#c=&m=&s=&cv=27&xywh=2929%2C3334%2C3372%2C1832&r=

      My take is that it says something like:
      "Hypertrophia prostatæ
      Insufficientia renum"

      In english that would be something like
      "Prostatic hypertrophy
      Renal insufficiency"

      or according to chatgpt
      Kidney failure caused by an enlarged prostate.

      His birth record, points to page 607, I checked it like 3 times before I saw the family!

      I believe @David2,666 slipped into the wrong line in the death book (there is another Frans August Johansson who died September 12).

      Frans August Johansson Mård died of "magkräfta" = stomach cancer

      Ulrich is correct! First time ever I've seen 2 Frans August so close together!

      Thank you both, I appreciate the time and effort you both put into this. It is good to know our family health histories.
