1860 Auction Document (German)

Have uploaded to http://docs.google.com PDF pages of the typed document in modern German script transcribed from the old German handwriting script of the legal record of the 18 June 1860 auction in the village of Neuhonrath in the mayoral district of Wahlscheid (Lohmar) in the home of the innkeeper Wilhelm Schmitz of all property of the parents of Franz Wilhelm "William" Vogel, namely Peter Wilhelm Vogel and Anna Margaretha Vogel (Wietkuehler) that took place after the death of Peter Wilhelm Vogel in 1859. Anna Margaretha Vogel (Wietkuehler) preceded him in death in 1857. Also includes an introductory letter and overview/explanation in German done by the transcriber in Frankfurt/Main, Germany in 1985 and addressed to James Patrick Vogel.
