Hi Judy, I have one Obituary from 1839 that was passed down from the family. But there is not very much information in it. Is says. Very sad I like notify all my family and friends. That this morning at 5' o clock my dearest wife Friedericke, maiden name Winterberg, at the age of 39 years ,is gone for ever from me. Neustrelitz, December 31. 1839 Theodor Selmer Grossherzogl. Mundschenk He was the cup bearer of the Great Duke of Neustrelitz. The other ones I have are from my Parents and other close relatives. I only got them because I ask for them and some one cut them out for me. When some one dies in Germany the family will send an Obituary the, same what is in the paper, to relatives and friends to announce the occurrence.
