The obituary of this ancestor has recently been posted at http://192.237.29.216/getperson.php?personID=I137893&tree=Eby as follows:

Basilius Wurm died here on Friday after a short bladder ailment at the great age of 89 years, which he had attained on July 23rd. He was born in 1807 in Herbstein in the Vogel mountains in Hesse-Darmstadt; emigrated to Canada in 1852 and had resided ever since in Berlin. He was a building carpenter and was still practising his trade 5 years ago. In Germany, he had spent 12 years in the military, and that could still be seen in him in his old age, as he always walked "straight as a candle" and was always very tidily dressed. His wife Elisabeth, nee Loeb, who pre-deceased him in 1880, bore him 6 children, of whom 3 sons are deceased, and one son and 2 daughters are still living. His oldest son, Daniel, fought in the civil war in the United States and was killed there. Basilius was awarded a pension for this. His burial took place on Sunday afternoon and despite the rainy weather, large numbers of citizens followed his cortege to the cemetery.

Other Events:

• Confirmation: 3 Sep 1797

Notes:

Regarding Rauischholzhausen, Germany....

Anna Barbara Lauer was born in Holzhausen, Hesse, Germany.

There are several places named Holzhausen in Hesse. Our source from www.ahnenforschung-berg.de began searching and finally found the birth record of Anna Barbara Lauer in a nearby place which is called Rauischholzhausen today. It was renamed at some time to distinguish it from other Holzhausens.

Rau was the name of the noble family that had their castle there. So their familiy name was placed in front of the place name.

So Rauischholzhausen means Rau's Holzhausen.

Her confirmation record reads "nata in Holzhausen in Unterhessen" which translates to "born in Holzhausen in Lower Hesse.

Died:
This entry at http://192.237.29.216/getperson.php?personID=I42628&tree=Eby quite likely represents the record of death of Anna Barbara (Lauer) Wurm on 30 Jan 1856.
