    Translation of Johann Gungerich’s Obituary and Funeral Notices:
    “God the Almighty in His mysterious resolution chose to call into His eternal home our most loved husband, father and grandfather, Johann Güngerich, in the 67th year of his life, Hereby calls this to the attention of relatives, friends, and acquaintances and asks for a pious prayer for him and quiet sympathy for herself. Schwabing 8th of September 1868. Jakobina Güngerich, Farmer’s wife. In the name of all relatives, the funeral will take place on Friday, 10th in the afternoon at 3 o’clock. It will start at home.”

    “Acknowledgements: For the affectionate attendance at the funeral of our unforgettable father Johann Güngerich. We should like to give our sincere and deeply felt gratitude to all friends and acquaintances, especially to the citizens of Schwabing. Schwabing, 15th of September 1868. Jakobina Güngerich, Farmer’s widow and their children: Peter Güngerich, Andreas Güngerich, Magdalena Güngerich.”

    “Translation of newspaper clipping about Johann’s burial: (A piece of priestly tolerance.) On the 11th an anabaptist was buried in Schwabing. A citizen of Schwabing, a Catholic, asked the priest to have the bells run with he would pay for. The request was in vain; moreover, the priest even had the door of the church locked and made the sacristan keep watch with the key in his hand so that no one could enter the bell tower. What do you call that, when you order quietness to the bells when a Christian dies, while they ring avidly at thunder storms and other unnecessary occasions?”
