Description:
This file contains the results of elections for Schulz and Beisitzer (mayor's assistants) in 1862 for the
following colonies: Waterloo, Karlsruhe, Helental, Neufreudental, Johannestal, Sulz, Landau, Rohrbach,
Rastadt, Muenchen and Katharinental. The names of the legal voters in these colonies are shown, along
with the candidate they voted for. Only the male household heads were allowed to vote. Those who were
absent on the day of the election are listed as "absent". If the household head was deceased, the vote
passed on to his widow, who was listed as such. I f she was also deceased and the children had not yet
reached legal age, then the legal heir for the farmstead was listed (e.g., "orphan of Frans Schmidt") and
the vote was signed by his guardian.
