Apolonia (Kurkiewicz) Eifler Died 19 July 1841.

The likely cause of death was complications of childbirth when Apolonia (Kurkiewicz) Eifler (my 3rd great aunt) died. She died July 19, 1841 -- 180 years ago. She was only 20 years old when her father Antoni (a 57 year old shoemaker) and Jan Reike (a weaver) reported her death. Her son Franciszek was born four months earlier. He died before her on 4 July. Apolonia was born 25 Feb 1821 in house number 76 in Tomaszów Lubelski to parents Antoni Kurkiewicz and Marianna nee Kiszczyńska They had 12 children --at least 7 of them died in infancy. Apolonia left behind her widowed husband, Jan Eifler. He was a 26 year old shoemaker. Jan’s relatives were originally “colonists” from Germany in Rogozno Colony. Jan later remarried Julianna Kusa and they had four children. One of them, Adam, is the 3x great grandfather of Curt Wolf (my 4x cousin.) Curt was one of the first people I connected with on my family history search. Curt is the one who originally gave me contact information for Tomasz Raczkiewicz (my 2x cousin.)
