He is only 38 years of age. The story goes that he "when searching for dove eggs for his pregnant wife" he fell through the attic of the church and died as a result. Anthony Engelbert leaves behind his widow and five children ' in miserable conditions". Two sons , Gilles and Anthonie Engelbert, both produced sons to continue the family.

  Fatal accident in Elst

ELST, 6 March 1805

"This day here was a day of deep sorrow, which story spread quickly all around- our beloved teacher A.E. André de la Porte, was taken away from us by death in the flower of his life, completely unexpectedly and the way was particularly awful ! The reverend went to the church at about eleven thirty in the morning, to verify some things on the attic. Having arrived there he fell through a plank, which was too weak, down on the floor in the church, hurting himself in such a manner that he passed away that same day at three in the afternoon as a result of that serious fall, to great sadness not only of the complete community but most to the left behind widow Miss Jacoba van de Wall, who with her five children (the eldest of eight and the youngest one year old) is in deep mourning . Reverend Mr. M.J. Menso, beloved vicar in Slijck Ewijk has as Visitator, filling in on the 10th of this month his first preaching engagement, in an appropriate intercession paid attention to this remarkable death and more extensively in a funeral oration on the 24th of this month. Our pulled away so early teacher had the age of thirty eight and a half ; was born in Zutphen and prepared on the Latin School for academic lessons. His choice was the profession of teacher, for which he went to the University in Utrecht. Candidate for the ministry he was soon sent out by the Church and the reverend has preached with diligence the Gospel of salvation in five different places: 1.in Vinken, 2. in Hoofdplaat, 3. in Wissekerke, 4. in Oost Kapellen, 5. in Elst . When he was called here he was also called in Hees en Neerbosch in the Scheppende of Nijmegen, which he called off, having administered here now for seven and a half year the Holy Sacrament with praise, a time during which both Oude Tongen and Haren called in vain upon the reverend, which he called off and preferred to stay in Elst. Our late friend and teacher has been married twice: first with Miss Maria Elisabeth Bussingh, who passed away in Oost Kapellen without children Subsequently with Miss mentioned above, now the left behind widow with five children, for whom the normal widow year will be performed by the ring brothers will . Therefore Elst is vacant.. "
