Cause of death

[Carol Kemp]

In looking at records for children born to August Pettersson, 3 Apr 1842, Nysund, two of his sons died on the same day.  Gustaf Adolf Pettersson, 30 May 1871, Karlskoga, and Per August Pettersson, 18 Mar 1875, Karlskoga, both died on 27 Jan 1879 in Karlskoga.  [size=78%] There is a notation to the side, which I [/size][/size]cannot read.  Does it give any indication of the cause of death?  Carol[size=78%]

It's a line drawn between the two notices #6 and #7, and "Uppgift till vintertinget" -- "notice sent to the winter court session". The list of deaths was used to check that estate inventories were done according to law.

Thanks so much.  I was hoping to find the cause of their deaths as it is unusual.  It may have been a contagious illness or an accident.  Carol
