Katarzyna Grabek died 28 March 1853

Teodor Axentowicz - Pogrzeb huculski Katarzyna Grabek (my 3x great grandmother) died 28 March 1853 at around 50 years old. The cause of death is not given. There was The Great Famine in Galicia from 1853 to 1855. The witnesses were Jakob Raczkiewicz, 29 and Josef Sidor, 36. She was born in Laszczowka but had lived in Majdan Gorny for the previous 31 years after she married her husband Lukasz Grabek. They had six children at least. Their youngest was ten years old when Katarzyna died but it doesn’t appear her husband remarried. Her parents were Antoni and Dorota Krawczyk. ********** The image is of a funeral in Galicia in 1882.
