Translations:Jeanette Eckart (VI 17)/4/en

Jeanette outlived her husband by 21 years. Following David’s death in 1853, she had a hard time fending for the family. Between 1853 and 1855, she was forced to sell all the remaining agricultural assets, except a field, a garden and a cow.^[1] In 1856, Jeanette Eckart reached out to Emskirchen’s municipal authorities and asked for aid. Her petition listed her children and aimed to clarify how difficult her financial situation was. Sources do not provide any information as to whether the municipal authorities complied with her request.^[2]
