Number 51. Dated in Sajó, 1896 (rest of pre-printed death registry page is blank and crossed out).
Margin: Dated in Sajó, 25 September 1896. There appeared before the below-written registrar one Mendel Ovús(?) day-laborer, Sajopojána resident, who verified his identity with the below-written registrar, and reported that his wife Szofia Heber, who is 40 years old, of Gyulafalva birth and of Jewish religion, Sajopojána resident, on 22 September 1896 at 7 a.m. in Sajópojána in his/her residence gave birth to a stillborn boy-child.
The child is entered in the current year's registry of births under number 61.
Read forth, approved and signed.

It's correctly Sajópolyána, although by 1896 that sounded exactly the same as Sajópojána in most dialects. (And the question shortly became moot, as first it was renamed Sajómező, and then it became Poienile Izei in a different country.)
