AD Hjälmseryd C:2 (1745-1779) Image 238 / page 469 (AID: v34223.b238.s469, NAD: SE/VALA/00136) Handwritten page 472/473, stamped 468/469. Nr 20, the 7th June (1777) died the old alderman(?) Nils Börjesson in Hälhult(?), 80 1/2 years old, as he was born 1697 the 21st February. His wife died the 11th Sep 1773, 83 years old, they(?) were married 1719 the 10th May, and lived together for 54 years, and begot only 2 children, one son and one daughter in Horsaryd(?). This Nils Börjesson had little to support the household with, but was so blessed later by trading and ???, that he had [the nickname?] in the parish: Rich Nils in Hällhult(?). He died with good sound reason, and had not during his time been ill until now, at the end somewhat in the legs(?). He was buried the 14th June. // Bo Johansson
