Found a haunting line in a 1711 death record: “de noctu occisus sine sacramentis sepultus” — “killed during the night, buried without sacraments.”

The Latin occisus implies a violent or unnatural death. He received no last rites, but was still buried — likely quietly, perhaps in a less visible part of the churchyard.

The record leaves much unsaid. But it says enough to stop you in your tracks. 🤍
