Bauernheim, Hessen - death in 1764 - Kopp family - transcription help
This is the death entry for Johannes Kopp (father of Johann Jakob Kopp) in Bauernheim and the date is the same as the death date mentioned in the Familienbuch entry for him. The second image is the full page and there is no URL.
I need help with two words and with finishing the translation.
Any help is appreciated.
Debra
Question: It seems that there is a space before the word monath and the scribe did not fill in a number for the months?
den 29ten 9br [November] [1764] wurde
Johannes Kopp Christ[ian]
K [all entries on the page have a letter that seems to be the first letter of the deceased person's surname]
Zur ? bestattet
Alt 62 Jahr ?
[blank] monath
On the 29th of November 1764, Johannes Kopp was buried ? Christian, aged 62 years [blank] months.

Hello @Debra Palmer01,
Regarding: K [all entries on the page have a letter that seems to be the first letter of the deceased person's surname]
The capital "K" and other capital letters corresponding to the decedents' surnames were likely added later and were designed to help someone looking for a specific record to quickly scan the page to see what the first letter of each surname was.

@Ulrich Neitzel, the word "etliche" makes sense, especially since the actual number of months was not mentioned. I could not figure out the third letter and see now that it could be a "l" with an abbreviation swoop and then an "e" at the end of the word. Thank you for your additions - it's appreciated!
@Robert Seal_1, Thank you for your explanation about the capital letters, which is helpful.
