Death Record
This is a page, 163, from Death Records from Wasungen, Thuringen. I would like to ask the group if you could help me with some of the names. Entry #10, what is the wife's maiden name? It looks like Kreshy. Entry 13, what is the second given name of the father? Looks like Samuel. Entry 16 what is the first given name of the father? It looks like Lucas. Please confirm or correct the names.
Thank you for your help.

I agree with Samuel and Lucas for #13 and #16, but I don't think #10 is "Kreshy." Because of the poor image quality (and maybe poor original) it's hard to decipher the name. It definitely starts with a K. The next two letters could be er, re, or even en. German does not have an "sh" combination unless the s is at the end of one syllable and the h is at the beginning of the next, e.g. Niedershausen. The sh letter combination in English is always sch in German. There's definitely no sch in this surname. The last letter is possibly a z, but I don't think it's a y.
Your best bet would be to go back to the birth record on 8 Sept 1861 and see if the mother's maiden name appears there more legibly. Or look for the marriage record sometime in the 1850s.
