А12. Состоялось в посаде Рожан 11 июля 1904 года.
Явились Мендель Боровка, школьник (религиозный служитель),79 лет и Хацкель Корн ,работник, 42 года и заявили, что сегодня (11 июля) в 5 часов утра в посаде Рожан умерла Хая-Сура Хелст, дочь Хаима и Малки, вдова, 65 лет.

По очному удостоверению о смерти акт сей объявляющим прочитан и ими подписан.
Содержащий акты Гражданского состояния.

P.S. В 1 Мировую войну (1914-1918 г.г.) в посаде Рожан был ранен в ногу мой дед в 1915 году. В этом месте было наступление Германских войск и солдаты Российской империи попали в «Польский мешок».
=====================================
A12. It took place in the settlement of Rozhán on July 11, 1904.
Mendel Borovka, a schoolboy (religious figure), aged 79, and Hatzkel Korn, a worker, aged 42, appeared and stated that

today (July 11) at 5 a.m. in the settlement of Rozhán, Haya Surah Khelst, the daughter of Khaim and Malka, a widow, aged 65, had died.

According to the personal certificate of death, this document has been read and signed by the parties.

Contains acts of Civil Status.

P.S. During World War I (1914–1918), my grandfather was wounded in the leg in the settlement of Rozhán in 1915. At that time, German troops launched an offensive, and soldiers of the Russian Empire found themselves trapped in the “Polish pocket”.
