Akta 23 is the 1891 death record from Dobrzyń nad Drwęcą, Rypin, Płock, Poland for my fourth-great-grandmother. 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).

Names that I would expect to see in the record are:
- the deceased: Bajla LONDON;
- her late husband: Dawid LONDON;
- her father: Kalman Ber MUNTER;
- her mother: Odel ROZNER;
- her surviving children: Salomon, Freyda, Abram.

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