Antoni Jozef Kurkiewicz Died March 20 1852

The record of the death of Antoni Jozef Kurkiewicz (my 3x great grandfather) is interesting to me for several reasons. He is only the 2nd person with a middle name that I had found by that point. Also, his son Jozef (my 2x great grandfather) signed the record and there are very few records signed by anyone other than the priest. Also, when I originally received this record, I found out his parents' names so it helped me work one more generation back in that line. There are 16 people in this generation and I have found parents for eight of them. Antoni Jozef Kurkiewicz died March 20 1852 at 7:00 in the morning in Tomaszów Lubelski. The cause of death is not given. A cholera outbreak was going on in Poland at the time. He was 67 years old and his wife Marianna (nee Kiszczynska) had died six years earlier. He worked as a shoemaker. Antoni and Marianna had 12 children, at least seven of which died in childhood. When Antoni died, three of his children were still alive – Jozef, Katarzyna Roczniak, and possibly Marianna Kamienska. He was the son of Marcin Kurkiewicz and Franciszka nee Rzeczycki. His parents were from Mosciska but they died in Tomaszów Lubelski and were “ławników" (jurors) of the town of Tomaszow. Antoni Jozef’s son Jozef, age 37 and his son-in-law Jan Kaminski, age 23, both farmers from Tomaszów Lubelskie. went two days later to report the death.
