Karen I tried to transcribe all of this, but it is really hard to read. Basically, in Colima, at four in the afternoon of 25 August, 1882, of inflammation of the stomach. Agustin Alborelli, of Monclovi, provance of Piamonte? Italy, and came to this city ----. Then, some discussion that (I think) Felipe Amouroun, Luis Rivera witnessed the death. Then, something about someone being a neighbor for 25 years. I think all those names are witnesses. Probably the first name, Carlos Meillon, was the physician. This is just as hard to read, if not harder, than some of the American records of the same era!. Hope this helps.

Right hand side, Numero 984. (I | already knew the date, or I'd not have found this record.) | | Does it say he died of inflammation of the intestines? Sixty years old? From | Monclavo, Piedmont, Italy? Who are the other people named (Luis Rivera, Carlo | Meillon, etc.)? | | Does it say how long he was in Colima (he was in San Luis Obispo, California in | 1859) or anything else interesting, or is most of the record boiler plate? | | Thanks for any help!!!! | | Karen | [email protected] | ===== | If you would prefer digest mode to mail mode, drop a note to roots- | [email protected] and ask for the digest... | | ------------------------------- | To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ROOTS- | [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the | subject and the body of the message
