Zev Chervin, death record, 1918

164 (male), in Vilna (? - written oddly). March 3, 19th Adar. Aged 7.

Cause of death appears to be "exhaustion" (istoshenie). This is written with the old "yat" and is abbreviated as "istosh." or "istoshz."

Vul'f' Abramov' Chervin'


Hebrew side: Zov ben Avraham Tservin. Cause of death is apparently transcribed from the Russian as: istoshz. which is actually clearer than the Cyrillic side.
