The handwriting is a near-textbook example of the Wikipedia illustration of Kurrentschrift (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/59/Deutsche_Kurrentschrift.svg), except for the (consistent) erroneous dotting of the 'c' in Wisconsin. Not that this makes it any easier to read.... I see it as:
Georg Johan Willi
Lui Nimbs zu Cooperstown Wisconsin
Albertine eine(?) geborne Schawe(?)
---
The mother's surname definitely starts with Scha-, and I'm nearly certain of the 'w', but the last letter could possibly be an 'n'.

This is the christening record for my grandfather, George Namz, from 1881. I thought his parents' names were Ludwig Namz and Albertina Lietz. Is that what this says?? Thank you so much for your help.
