Records indicate he had to pay a fine because he could not bear the cold. I have the German and English version of what is on his grave stone. It is a quotation of Isaiah 61:10 and then these words:

Up! Up! Let us determine those
Of us still in this world
That we finally after this life
Shall enter into the tent of heaven.

Conrad Plaster I and Margaret Betz had seven children.
