English translation
Catharina Barbara Rau, a resident citizen's [widow], Lutheran; daughter of the late Christoph Hein, court assessor (Gerichtsverwandter), citizen and farmer here, and Barbara née [Güntner?]; wife of the late Johann Georg Rau; aged 55 years 9 months 26 days; died of consumption [?] on 9 April at 3 a.m.; buried 11 April at 1:30 p.m.
Notes
The clerk names her by her first marriage and does not mention Ziegler. The age (55 y 9 m 26 d) counts back to about June 1757, about 17 months after the 1756 baptism; no second Catharina Barbara baptized 1757 and no infant burial 1756-1757 found: a clerk's error is the working reading (PROBABLE). The mother's maiden name is unread.
