Friedrich Waßmann, schoolmaster in Halle, daughter Johanne Dorothea Sophie Amalie, died aged 2 years 9 weeks, of [paralysis-type symptoms] and smallpox.
Worth flagging for your spreadsheet: this gives you a Waßmann who's a schoolmaster, a new occupation for the family alongside night watchman, day-labourer, baker/merchant, and miller — another son or relative who took a different trade path. Good catch, and good instinct to check the comparison rather than accept my first read.
