Akta 19 is the 1872 death record from Dobrzyń nad Drwęcą, Rypin, Płock, Poland for my fourth-great-grandfather. I would be grateful if someone could translate it in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a death record).

Names that might appear in the record are:
- the deceased: Rywen GROTSZTEYN;
- his late wife: Bayla ERTZ;
- his father: Lewin GROTSZTEYN;
- his mother: Raca;
- his surviving children: Hersz, Jozef Eliasz, Szprynca, Hinda.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read.
