Good morning KG,

This is wonderfully legible handwriting.

Translation (columns put into a single paragraph):

On the 23rd of October [1799], in the afternoon at 3:00 pm [died], and on the 25th [of October 1799] was buried: Maria Margaretha Beckerin, whose husband was the late Chrisitan Bickel; age 63 years, 4 months.

Robert, I try tomake each record readable using Photoshop and Mac Photos. Sometimes it is necessary to leave the doc rather dark or the handwriting doesn't have enough contrast to stand out. In any case, documents like this one are amazing for clarity and legibility. Thank you pastor from 1798-1808 - Gottlieb Bernhard Fecht for your handwriting on clean white paper!! Thank you Robert for bring the doc to life!

Also, no bells, no sermon, no singing!!!! Sad.
