Good evening Kent,
Translation:
[Record no.] 20.
On the 13th of August [1823] at 6:00 am died and on the 15th [of August 1823] at 8:00 am was buried Friedrich Scholl, age 73 years, 8 months, and 9 days, local citizen and widower. The witnesses to the burial are: Friedrich Scholl, innkeeper at the sign of the bouquet of flowers, and Christoph Lind, mason, both citizens from here.
Graben, on the 15th of August 1823. Henhöfer, pastor.
My Comment: "Straußwirth" = innkeeper at the sign of the bouquet of flowers,

Hello Kent, hello Robert
Kent, I saw your list of Wirtshäuser = Inns in Graben; a respectable collection! Yes, these inns were quite important institutions in the villages, and to a certain degree still are.
Regarding the Straußwirth I have one comment. Note that a Straußwirtschaft has a very specific meaning particularly in the south German wine growing areas. It means a simple tavern that is driven by the winegrowers themselves for selling their own wine and simple dishes. It opens only temporarily. The Open-sign is usually a broom, besom or a bunch of flowers at the entrance. See also this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strausse
