March 5, 1777 Hessen, Germany Jane Doe

On 5 March 1777, the body of a woman was found near a resting area in the woods near Burgwald, Hessen, Germany after the snow had faded away. It was believed that she had died several months from the cold. She was wearing a brown camisole, a headband with a veil attached, and men's shoes. She had 4 dollars and a piece of bread, but there was nothing to identify her on her person. 

She would be buried the next day in the churchyard in Oberrosphe,Marburg-Biedenkopf, Hessen, Germany.
