English translation:
It took place in the town of Nur, on March the twenty fifth (April the
sixth), eighteen hundred and sixty six, at four o’clock in the
afternoon. A Jew named Sana Chunowicz Kur, age forty years old, and
Boruch Abramowicz Tachna, age forty two years old, both shoemakers
residing in the town of Nur, have appeared testifying that Mosiek Mendel
Kur, age four years old, passed away yesterday in the town of Nur, at
three o’clock in the afternoon. He
was born in the town of Nur to Sana Kur and Sosia née Tachna and lived
there with his parents. We have
confirmed death of Mosiek Mendel Kur. This
document was read to the testifiers and signed by us only because both
testifiers are illiterate.
Felix Rejchel, Clerk of the Civil Registry Office

Note: This record appears to be an anomoly that does not point
to the death of Moszko Mendel Kur, son of Sana Kur and Sosia Feyga
Tachna, who was also born in 1861 but is recorded as marrying Frajdla
Osowska in 1881. It can never be known how a child with the same
name born to the same parents and born in about the same year can be
recorded as having died as a child when not only is his later marriage
recorded but also recorded are births of a number of his children.
