It happened in the town of Mlawa on the fourteenth day of February in the year nineteen hundred and three at ten o’clock in the morning. Moszek Ber Zagon, age sixty, and Zoruch Mlawski, age fifty, both of whom synagogue sextons residing in the town of Mlawa, appeared and declared that yesterday in the town of Mlawa died Aria [Tzvi Aryeh son of Yehudah Ha-Levy] Tachna, widower, age sixty seven, son of Juda [Yehudah son of Yakov Ha-Levy] and Pessa.  After having convinced ourselves with our own eyes about the death of Aria Tachna, this document was read to the testifiers, signed by us and them.
