In a marriage record from Hörden, Baden, 1810, I find the groom's father referred to as an "abgegangener Schullehrer". I have a bit of trouble with the adjective. I believe the most likely interpretation is "retired", since deaths are usually indicated by "verlebt" in this record set, "verstorben" being a distant second. But I am not sure. Has anyone ever seen "abgegangen" used to mean "deceased" in early 19th century records from (catholic) Baden?
