This is the church record for the burial of Petronella van Dijssel.
I'm interested in the address given, and also the final words- does it mean the choir sang at her funeral? What are dragers?
Many thanks as always.

She lived along the Oude Langendijck in the 3th house from the gate called Molenpoort. She was buried in the church at the chancel (koor), which was only the prerogative of those who could afford to pay a lot. This alos shows from the number of dragers, which are the pallbearers. The term 'een meerderjaarigh' only states that the deceased wais an adult person.
O'h super Rene. Many thanks, that helps clear up a few points.
Her gravestone is still in Delft church- I saw a photo of it online last night. What remarkable is that she, her husband, and daughter are buried in the grave, along with a Jesuit priest from Delft!
best wishes
