I have been able to glean that Margarethe Hempin died on 23 Mar. 1746 and was buried on 25 Mar. 1746. Can you help me decipher the rest of the wordage here?
Thank You,
Dari

Hello @daridoll,
Translation:
On the 23rd of March Margaretha Hemp(in) died and was buried according to Christian custom on the 25th of the same month here.
or if you prefer:
On the 23rd of March Margaretha Hemp(in) died and received a Christian burial on the 25th of the same month here.
My comment: The "in" suffix on female German surnames (as in "Hempin") is often (but not always) a grammatical gender indicator which is dropped from the surname, therefore the name may be "Hempin" or "Hemp".
