Sub-clan BC — matriarchal anchor: Katharina Fried née Porges
(b. ca. 1811-1812, d. Sedletz-Pröitz Wednesday 12 August 1896 at 11 p.m., in her
85th year of life, of senility — i.e., natural decline of old age).
Funeral on Friday 14 August 1896 at 2 p.m. from the house of mourning at
Sedletz. (Day-of-week check: 12 Aug 1896 = Wednesday ✓; 13 Aug = Thursday ✓;
14 Aug = Friday ✓.)
Katharina is among the earliest-born documented Porges women in the
corpus, born ca. 1811-12 — bridging the late Napoleonic Wars and the modern
Habsburg era. Her 84-year lifespan saw the Vormärz period (1815-1848),
Bohemian Jewish emancipation (1849), full Habsburg Jewish emancipation (1867),
and most of the late-imperial era.
Sedletz-Pröitz — small-town Bohemian rural location
"Sedletz-Pröitz" (Czech: Sedlec-Prčice) is most plausibly a Central Bohemian
small-town location in the Sedlčany region (Středočeský kraj), ca. 70 km
southeast of Prague. This is the first documented Sedletz-Pröitz location
in the obituary corpus, opening the rural-Bohemian small-town Jewish-bourgeois
class to the Porges affinity network.
Four-generation family
Katharina is explicitly designated as both grandmother and
great-grandmother (Urgroßmutter) — confirming a four-generation family
structure with great-grandchildren alive in 1896.
Husband: Alexander Fried (alive 1896, signs the obituary).
Children (alive 1896, all six remarkably bearing the Fried surname or married out):
• Ludmilla Fried (unmarried 1896)
• Marie Kay née Fried — married Ludwig Kay
• Therese Fried (unmarried 1896)
• Moriz Fried
• Ignaz Fried
• Julie Weiß née Fried — married Albert Weiß
Sons-in-law: Ludwig Kay, Albert Weiß.
Daughters-in-law: Malvine Fried née Lewy, Amalie Fried née Fried
(another Porges-Fried-Fried cousin or namesake marriage).
"All grandchildren and great-grandchildren" are mentioned collectively
without individual naming.
Holocaust trajectory
The 6 children (b. ca. 1840-1860) were likely deceased of natural causes by
1938. Their grandchildren and great-grandchildren — particularly the Fried,
Kay, and Weiß lines — would have been the prime deportation cohort.
