I am reading transcribed records from Vester Starup sogn - døde  1692 til 1814 which can be found at:

http://www.horsboel.dk/kirkebog/kirke.html

I am looking at the death of Maren Hansdatter 7 og 8 November 1718 this can be seen on page 7. Google translate will not translate any thing but her age after Sønder Starup. Can someone please help?

Hi Marlon,

1718 imellem den 7 og 8 november om natten døde Jens Sørensen seniors hustru Maren
Hansdatter i Sønder Starup, den 8 ejusdem nedsat i en bøgekiste i sit alders 90 år.

1718 the night between 7 and 8 November Jens Sørensen senior's wife Maren
Hansdatter in Sønder Starup died, on 8th ejusdem (same month) placed in a beech coffin, 90 years old

Thanks Lissa. Was that something special to be placed in a beech coffin? I imagine pine was the most common.

It was only for the 11 deaths from 1718-1721 that the pastor wrote what type of wood was used for the coffins.
