Cause of death to 16-year-old boy

[Mark Molander]

I can't figure out what caused the death of a 16 year old boy in year 1823.  Any insights would be most appreciated!



Thanks, Mark

to me it looks like "drunknad" (drowned)

I went back to check the original source image, and sure enough the long loop below the line was from a word on the next line below it, so it could be a word starting with a "D".  So, I'm sure you must be right.  Thanks for your help!
