Transcription (original language)

Dom: Rogate 1739 ist begraben Meister Johann Wasmann, welcher den Donnerstag vorher gestorben, seines Alters 6[4?] Jahr.

Translation (English)

On Rogate Sunday 1739 Master Johann Wasmann was buried; he died the Thursday before, aged 6[4?] years.

Notes

The surname reads Wasmann with a clear long s; the second digit of the age is doubtful (born about 1675). The entry says "Meister", not "Müller"; his wife's burial of 1731 gives the trade. PROBABLY the miller of 1716–1726 and the father of Henr. Andreas (1702). Agrees with the Kölling OFB's Wasmann Erbmüller to 1739. The burials of June 1739 – autumn 1746 (Bild 202–208) hold no widow. Grade: STATED.
