Help with 1852 Burial Record for Matthias Sticht?

Brenda P Hayward

This record is difficult to read. I have darkened it to try to make it more legible. It is for the burial of Matthias Sticht and supposedly mentions his wife. The indexing says his wife is Catharina Stahmann; however I cannot find that name in this record. My other research says his wife was Catharina Peters, but I do not find that name in this record either.

Can you help with name of wife in this record? Or any other information that will help determine whether this is my Matthias Sticht, such as location or occupation?

This record is from FamilySearch: Film #004092015, image 769. It is #67 on the right side. Here is the link: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89L6-M4ZG?i=768

Hello Brenda,

The last two words of the second line and the first word of the third line are: Catharina, geborene Stahmann = Catharina, née Stahmann. Matthias Sticht is identified in this record as the husband of Catharina, née Stahmann.

Matthias is identified as a retired man on life estate living in Lamstedt and at the time of his death he is 72 years old. His calculated birth year would be 1780.

I do not see the surname "Peters" in this record.

Hello Robert,

Thank you for your help with this. As I suspected, Catharina Stahmann was the 2nd wife of Matthias Sticht. Your translation of this record confirms it for me...the location and age are correct for "my" Matthias. I am happy that you were able to read the record enough to glean this information.

Regards,

Brenda
