Joss Scholl death 16 Mar 1662 film 102078348 page 189
d: 16 Mart. starb Joß Scholl Bürger und Gerichts-
verwandter __ _ u. ____
___ _____ s. Alters ist den folgenden
Tag christl.?___ nach zur Erde bestattet worden
The basic facts are clear: Joss Scholl, citizen and juryman, died 16 March [1662] and was buried the day after following Christian customs. The unclear passages may include additional important information. Also there is a note in the left margin under the date which I can't read.
I am hoping someone might hazard a guess as to the note in the left margin. No other entry on this page or the next has anything written under the date on the left side. KG

Hello @Kent Gardiner,
The 3rd and 4th words in the second line appear to be: Bürger Meister = Bürgermeister = mayor.
The 6th and 7th words in the second line might be "Schul(l) Meister" = Schulmeister = school master. (I strongly emphasize the word "might" here.)
See below:
d: 16 Mart. starb Joß Scholl Bürger und Gerichts-
verwandter __ Bürger Meister u. Schul(l)? Meister?
___ _____ s. Alters ist den folgenden
Tag christl.?___ nach zur Erde bestattet worden
Comments: Do you have any supporting evidence that Joß Scholl was either a mayor or a school master?
The marginal note eludes me.

Robert Seal_1 Robert, I don't have any evidence as to Mayor or Schoolmaster. The records are incomplete back then and he could easily be either one. Thanks for looking at this document again. You don't often see Pfarrers scribbling out what they wrote. I'd love to know about why he did so. Happy Sunday, Kent
