==================================================
Act No. 21.
Drawn up in the *posad* (a small town or large village) of Krasnobrody on October 30, 1900, at 11:00 a.m. Appearing in person, synagogue board members*) Sender Lefler (aged 62) and Fischil Elbaum (aged 42) declared that on October 29, 1900, at 8:00 a.m., Rivka Libel—a married woman, aged 48, and the daughter of the spouses Tevel and Hava Libel, residents of the *posad* of Krasnobrody—had died in the *posad* of Krasnobrody.

*) Synagogue boards (*bozhnichnye dozory*) were internal administrative bodies of Jewish communities in the Kingdom of Poland. These boards were established by an Imperial decree on December 20, 1821, to replace the *kahals* (traditional Jewish communal councils), which were abolished at the same time. A synagogue board was headed by a rabbi, an assistant rabbi (acting as his deputy), and three members of the synagogue administration, known as "synagogue overseers."
