Death of Jacob Wagner

 I mentioned in an earlier post that I misplaced the death record for Jacob Wagner. I found it while taking researching classes at BYU-Idaho and used it for an assignment. I got busy with other research projects and then it was gone. 

I found it again today. 


I had help from a nice volunteer on the FB genealogy group to translate: 

In the year 1855, on October 4th, at 4 pm, Joseph Minarie, Mayor and registrar of the commune of Bourogne, canton of this arrondissement of Belfort, Haut-Rhin (now part of the Territory of Belfort) appeared Pierre Valbert aged 66 years and Louis Valbert aged 64 years the two blacksmith farrier domiciled to the said Bourogne who told us that this day at 3:00 the delegate Jacques Wagner aged 44, domestic to pledge of Monsier Renault (Deceased) Christe Wagner and Barbe Schlegle who died in Reppe canton de fontaine and husband of Barbe Eicher, 43 years old, without a state domiciled in the same place and died at his domicile in this commune located Next to the River in pursuance of this declaration, and after having satisfied ourselves of this death by taking us near the deceased, having drawn up the present deed, that the said declarants Neighbors of the said deceased, who have signed with us this Act after they have been read to them.

 

So some further translating-

Jacques Wagner, age 44 who was a domestic servant to
Monsier Renault. Died on 4 October 1855 at his home next to the river in Bourogne, Belfort, Haut-Rhin. Son of Christe Wagner and Barbe Schlegal. He was married to Barbe Eicher who was 43 when he passed.
