The cause of death was" rödsot"-dysentery. Check here for the Swedish word list on the Family Search Wiki: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Swedish_Genealogical_Word_List .

Thank you. I tried using the word list and rödsot w was the closest I could see so I was right. Wish I was better at knowing Swedish handwriting.

Thank you Norman. I did use word list. The word in the record book was longer but rödsot was the closest I could find. You and Heidi both confirmed. Thanks again

It looks like he wrote rödsotte. Röd is red and sot is sickness so scarlett fever or something that caused red swelling. But a sickness of some kind.
