So the cause of death was “old age”. I will have to make sure I don’t tell my parents’ that since they are that age right now. But 160 years ago, 75 was like today’s 95!

I didnot take part in your game, because I didnot want to present the solution and finish the game.

The cause of death is “Altersschwäche, Wassersucht, Dauer 12 Wochen, ohne Arzt”

Kind regards

Cousin Armin

She may not be a genealogist, but she *is* a Bergmeister so she correctly guessed the last name. The first name was a bit tricky – see the updated post above for details. Thanks for playing along – I’ll find another tricky example this coming week.
