• Notes

  Christian died when he fell from the harvesting wagon and crushed his spine at several places. Elisabeth wanted him buried on the estate, but the Mennonite preacher was sick and could not come. Thus Christian was buried in the Catholic cemetery in Oberalteich. This caused a riot of sorts. Read the full story at this source:
