From Szukaj w Archiwach.

Akta 2 is an 1871 death record from Dobrzyń nad Drwęcą, Rypin, Płock, Poland for a Dawid LONDON, who is hopefully my fourth-great-grandfather.

I would be grateful if someone could translate it in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a death record).

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read.
