    Death Cert for Lieven and Cornelis Caauwe. They died within days of each other. Never have found any documentation of the cause. I always thoght it was either an accident snce they both were dyke workers or one died from greif of the other one dying. AI has speculated that there was an smallpox epedemic at the time.

    Found this little nugget. It seems Lieven must have gotten into a fight and had to spend the night in jail.
