Other Events and Attributes:

• Cause of Death: Cholelithiasis (gall stones) - exhaustion
• Occupation: Needlework
• Research Notes: According to Wendell Mohr, surname is Drager. This is probably from Emil Frandsen’s birth certificate. IGI has conflicting birth dates. Two records show 26 June, while another shows 26 January. The June date seems more likely, as her christening was in August. This is also confirmed by the age specified on her Report of Death.
