Rasia/Rasza Sztutman passed away in November 1883. Her father was Josef/Josel. Thanks to collective work we were able to connect her tombstone with her death certificate from the Siedlce Archive.
Thank you!

Moszko-Symcha Sztutman
Yesterday I was looking for the death certificate of Rasza - Josef's daughter, who died in 1885. It was her matzeva that someone had brought to the Jewish cemetery in Sokołów, and I wanted to find out what her last name was.
I didn't find her death certificate. But I found such a document. In 1947, Moszko-Symcha Sztutman changed his name to Szymon Sztucki. Moszko-Symcha was born on June 15, 1885. His parents were Abram-Lejb and Jenta nee Wiksman. In Sokołów, Moszko-Symcha lived at 18 Rogowska St.
I guess he wanted a more "Polish" surname after the war, but the name Szymon at the time was typically Jewish (today you will find a lot of non-Jewish boys with that name).
Do any of you know the background of this story?
