Hans Mathisen Bert

[Kathleen Hanson]

I am looking for information about my great-grandfather Hans Mathisen Berg (d.o.b. 25 May, 1849).  According to records I have seen, he died 7 June, 1881 and was buried at Reitgjerdet Pleiestiftelsen.  I googled that place and found it to be a hospital for lepers.  Is there any way to determine what his cause of death was?  I am very new at genealogy and at using this web-site so really have no idea how to go about tracking down this information.  I would be extremely thankful for any help or guidance you might give me about this question.

 

Thanks,

Kathleen Hanson

Sven,

Thanks so much for this information.  Does Hans death at the Leper Hospital also mean that he was buried there?  And if so, would it have been a cremation or group kind of grave?  If there’s any further information you can provide, I would be thankful from the bottom of my heart.
