Levy Death Records

In the registration records of Metzervisse, Departement of Moselle, France, there are several death records for the Levy family that I am posting here with basic information transcribed. Note that spellings of names can vary in the records.

Death of Rachel Moyse Cerf


On June 20, 1849, at 6 a.m., in her house, death of Rachel Moyse Cerf, 76 years of age, born in Buding, living in Metzervisse, the wife of Leman Benjamin Boeles, 86 years of age, living also in Metzervisse, a daughter of the late Moyse Cerf and Caroline Levy, who were merchants living in Buding, and died in that town. Notified by Moyse Heuman, 36 years of age, a teacher, living in Thionville, and Leopold Levy, 42 years of age, a grocer, living in Metzervisse. Both of them are her sons-in-law.

One of the witnesses, Moyse Heuman, is probably the M. Heumann who gave Phoebe Levy Cerf the prayer book that is in my blog of November 15, 2011. Now we can assume that the prayer book came from her uncle.

Death of Catherine Boeles


On September 20, 1849, at 3 a.m., in her house, death of Catherine Boeles, the wife of Libmann Levy, 37 years of age, born in Breda, Holland, a daughter of Leman Benjamin Boeles, formerly a teacher and of the late Rachelle Moyse Cerf. Notified on the same day by her husband, 44 years of age, a grocer, and Marx Cerf Cahen, 45 years of age, also a grocer, all living in Metzervisse.

Death of Leman Benjamin Boeles


On November 8, 1849, at 8 a.m., death of Leman Benjamin Boeles, 84 years of age, living in Metzervisse, born in Amsterdam, Holland, the widower of Rachel Moyse Cerf. Notified by Leopold Levy, 44 years of age, his son-in-law, a grocer, and Cerf Israel, 62 years of age, a baker and a neighbor of the deceased, both living in Metzervisse, who declare that the names and places of residence and of death of the parents of the deceased are unknown.

Death of Fleurette Crehange


On July 1, 1874, at 11 a.m., the death of Fleurette Crehange, 50 years of age, born in Corny, wife of Libmann Levy, 69 years of age, a grocer living in Metzervisse, a daughter of the late Oury Crehange and the of the late Sara Fribourg. Fleurette Crehange was the second wife of Libmann Levy.
