Marianna (Kiszczynska) Kurkiewicz (my 4x great grandmother) died 15 April 1846 at 3:00 in the afternoon In Tomaszow Lubelski. She left behind her husband Antoni, who was also aged 60 at the time. Marianna and Antoni had 12 children. Seven of these children died very young. Two daughters died fairly young, after being married. ***** Marianna’s parents (Lukasz and Justyna Kiszczyński) were shoemakers. She married a shoemaker and her son was carrying on the tradition. ***** Antoni and their son Jozef reported the death the next day at 9:00 in the morning. Jozef was 27 years old and the oldest male child. While he was the third born child, his two older sisters were already deceased--one at age three and the other at age 25. He had been married for several years and his mother was alive for the birth of several of his children. ***** Image: Vincent van Gogh, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons
