I am having trouble reading some of this death record from Kobbelgrube parish in West Prussia. The
Thank you.
The parts I can read: She lived in Stulthof (?), buried 8 Feb., age 66 years, leaving 6 adult children. The rest of the entry I can only guess and would appreciate any help. Thanks again.

Hi Patricia,
is the place where she lived perhaps Stutthof instead of Stulthof. That is what it looks like to me (in multiple entries). Also, I find my former in Meyer's, but not the latter:

Of course, this does not answer your question fully, but someone will surely address it later.

It's likely to be Stutthof, then; it looks like that's in the Danzig district which I think is the right place. Thanks.

Hi @Patricia Frey The first page, I see Stutthof, her (church? baptism?) name, is ? Ewa, her maiden name is Nowack, and she appears to have been a widow, (verwit.) spouse was Gottfried Lenski, and then I am not sure what the last word is. I don't know if it is part of his last name, or an occupation, or some other reference.
On the second page, it looks like she died in the early morning, on the First (1) of February, and was buried the 8th of February. She died at the age of 66 of "Alterschwäche" (infirmity, old age, age related cause.)

The last word on the first page is 'Einw.'=resident
And, in the last column on the 2nd page it states that she leaves behind 6 adult children.
