This record is a bit difficult to read because of the handwriting. Do you have any more details about this family, such as the names and marriage date of the parents, or their other children?
I was able to find some other records in the same church book in an effort to clarify what is in this record. Here is what I can tell you so far. The separate (typewritten) baptism index for this record clarifies the name of the child and his mother, but the father's name is not included in the index. The index was helpful to find the remaining baptisms of their children.
Theodor Karl Puke
born 6 December 1852
baptized 7 December 1852, St. Johannis Church, Glandorf
father: Bernhard Puke, Landmann? at Averf[ehrden]
mother: Elisabeth Niermann
godparent: John Diederich Herbermann from Huster
After viewing all of the baptism records, it became obvious that the residence was Averfehrden, just to the west of Glandorf. ( ) Note that there is a farm there named Mechelhof. Also the nearby name Huster also shows up in at least one baptism record.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Bernard is the first name in question. I didn't know about the others at all. You have been a great help and is appreciated by me and others in the family who were searching for an answer to the last name mystery. It was changed to Parker shortly after Theodor Puke came to this country and became a citizen.
