Hello @Lynn Siegel
Translation:
In the wine year 1868 the youngest brother Wilhelm had a fatal accident in nearby Kelter at the age of 10.
In 1862, the grandparents built the house with a stable and barn. After Grandmother's death in 1897, we put it up for sale.
In 1907 the only brother of Grandmother, Johannes Sprecher, died. Since he had no children, his property was inherited after the death of his wife in 1914. The name Sprecher has died out here.
My comment: "Weinjahr" = wine year = a good or bad year for wine. See the following link: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/german-english/weinjahr
