Lijk opgehaald uit sloot op 10-08-1912.

Hello Charlie,

Saw in other messages you don't speak Dutch, therefor in both languaes:

That information is available. In the Leidsche Courant of 12 August 1912. In the article mentioned it says (roughly) translated: "On Saturday morning in a ditch in Nieuw Vennep the body of the 22-year old J.B. was found. He was living in Hillegom. Investigation learned that he suffered of 'toevallen' (no translation found, today that would be epilepsy). He was working for his boss as a mason-hand (?) nearby Aalsmeer. He would always be accompagnied by fellow-workers, but this Friday this had not occured. His father and brother have searched all night, and have not found him. His body was found on Saturday by mailman Van Koot, laying in the ditch, nearby the RC school. His bike was next to him in the water. Presumed is he suffered an attack/insult and was fallen into the water due to that."

Die informatie is er, te vinden in de Leidsche Courant van 12 augustus 1912. In het artikel onder de met paars aangegeven kop staat dat hij leed aan toevallen. Tegenwoordig zou dat epilepsie genoemd worden.

regards / met groet, Frank

Hello Frank,

Thank you very much for finding and giving that information and going to the trouble of translating it. Very interesting but very sad.

Kind Regards
