Can anyone suggest possible age and date of death from this picture of Maria Cuch’s headstone? The file is too big to upload so here is the photo: https://ibb.co/9pzsQB5 |

G'day Charlie Yes, you are correct it is rather blurry. The death date is written with the month in Roman Numerals. I can read "Maria Cuch, lived 74 years, Died 13 II 1939", can't read the bottom line. Death date looks to be 13 February 1939. This is my best guess - others may have a clearer view. Cheers Ted |

Hi Charlie and Ted, The bottom line says, "Pokoj jej duszy." That is, May her soul rest in peace. The numbers are difficult for me to read but Ted is absolutely right about the month being in Roman numerals. Might the year be 1999? Best regards, Sophia |
