Would someone help me find a source for the death of Reinhold Ekestubbe?

I have been trying to clean up and source the family Ekestubbe. I am almost finished with Reinhold Ferdinand Ekestubbe, 1807 - 1880. Two collections of information are Adelsvapen (link) and Geni (link). Both list Reinhold's death as 1880.  Adelsvapen states: Död 1880-10-05 i Isjevsk. I would like a source to validate this date and location. Most other dates in Reihold's life I have been able to provide Hiski links and SSHY Parish info links. With Hiski the links to the church books are free.

I'm sorry to say, but you may not find any sources of his death in Finland, as he seems to have died in Russia.

I looked at that at that and wondered why he would go to central Russia upon retirement.  Adelsvapen must have some source.
Finland was an autonomous part of Russia at the time, and it would probably be like someone from Alabama moved to Florida for retirement. He could also have been involved in the big arms factories there looking out for his investments when he fell ill. Speculation, I know

The source Adelsvapen is using is https://wiki.genealogi.se/index.php/Den_introducerade_svenska_adelns_%C3%A4ttartavlor and it is not available online. Perhaps someone close to a well equipped library could find the reference for you. Or someone might have the books themselves.
