mihály bertalanits -lrb- prekmurian : `` miháo bertalanitš '' -rrb- -lrb- november 8 , 1788 -- january 8 , 1853 -rrb- was a slovene cantor , teacher , and poet in hungary .
beralanits was the son of peasants györgy bertalanics and katarina -lrb- unknown surname -rrb- in the now uninhabited village of `` gerečavci '' between večeslavci and sveti jurij near rogašovci .
in 1806 he became an auxiliary teacher in beltinci and in 1808 a teacher in felsőszölnök .
there he met an auxiliary teacher named ferenc marics and his father , györgy , the teacher and cantor of apátistvánfalva , who was also born in gerečavci .
together , bertalanits and marics copied and reworked the prekmurian hymnal of cantor-teacher ruzsics .
marics used this hymnal in istvánfalva and bertalanits in pečarovci , where he lived until his death from pneumonia in 1853 .
