Translation (English)
On 5 November [1766] the burgomaster August Küster of the town died [suddenly?] and was buried quietly on the 24th Sunday after Trinity. Age: 70.
Notes
The index (200177, fol. 642) gave the age as 40 or 47; the page reads 70, which fits the baptism of 23 March 1696 (70 years 7 months). Grade: STATED; that he is August Wilhelm Küster, baptized at Salzderhelden: PROBABLE.
