Magdalena Zwar Erschen

In memoriam

Vereint im Tod wie einst im Leben Hat euch die treue Gotteshand Wo sel'ge Geister euch umschweben. Weilt ihr im ew'gen Heimatland. Der Kinderdank beweint das Scheiden Die Liebe blickt zu Sternenhöh'n Und glaubt und hoft Nach Trennungsleiden Entzückt ein frohes Wiederseh'n! United in death as you once were in life The faithful hand of God holds you Where blessed spirits float around you. You reside in the eternal homeland. Your grateful children weep at this parting Their love looks to the starry heights And believes and hopes, after the sorrow of separation, With joy in a happy reunion!

Magdalena Zwar, was born in Grafenfeld, Krain, Austria (now Dolga Vas, Slovenia). Her family lived in house #36. Magdalena Zwar's parents were Magdalena Bartelme and Franz Zwar. They also had a son named Franz. Magdalena Bartelme's parents were Joseph Bartelme and Maria Erker (possibly Schuster). Joseph and Maria had two daughters, but Magdalena's sister died at age 30. After Joseph died, Magdalena Bartelme and her husband, Franz Zwar, inherited the Bartelme house. Magdalena Zwar's father, Franz Zwar, was originally from Seele (now Željne, Slovenia), house #45. When he married Magdalena Bartelme in 1854, he moved to her family home at #36 in Grafenfeld, not far from Seele. As mentioned above, he and Magdalena inherited the Bartelme house after Magdalena's father died. Franz Zwar was the son of Andreas Zwar and Maria Matko. They were both born in Zadolje and moved to Seele sometime around 1830. Andreas Zwar was born in 1794 to Anton Zwar and Margaritha Peterlin, who lived at house #1 in Zadolje. The 1824 roster of household heads lists 29-year-old Andreas as the "paterfamilias," which likely means that Anton had died. Magdalena Bartelme died in 1889, and her husband Franz predeceased her.
