    In general, the meaning of the text is clear. 79.jpg 80.jpg


    Help to make out the underlined word.

    Vornehmes Reichenbegräbnis in [Tagg]
    alles hat dem Wagen nachgesehen, er
    fuhr hier zum ersten Mal wieder
    seit 20 Jahren. Sonst nur auf
    einem Bauernwagen

    Distinguished funeral of a rich person in [Tagg].
    everything was looking at the wagon, it
    drove here for the first time
    in 20 years. Otherwise only on
    a farm wagon

    regards

    Olli Thank you for your help. Vornehmes Leichenbegängnis in {Tagg} (Taganrog)
    Maybe all the same it will be right?

    Leichenbegängnis is in fact correct - haven't heard this old word in a long time

    Unfortunately I cannot help:
    Without the German uniforms, I wouldn't even be able to tell what language it is....

    Do you have a rough translation for the rest of the text?
    Deciphering Sütterlin is truly not my supreme discipline.

    Almost the entire text was deciphered with the exception of two words. 20.jpg

    Sorry Raut
    zerrissener 257. "danks" (or something similar) zwischen trocken u. ???
    I suppose the last two words could be place names instead
    But either way, the first part of the sentence makes absolutely no sense in context

    regards
    Olli

    Please help me make out the word.
    Maybe this is the name of the area, then what?

    Most likely this is the letter K
    There is such a settlement in Poland Koben. schrift_1.jpg

    Edit, my apologies I mean L -
    Loben
