Wetzikon ZH - death - 1830 - Jenta - husband's status
Translation: 3 Oct 1830 Elisabetha Jenta's burial, age 60, 11 mo, 24 days
Anna's death record is the second document on this page:
Does this document say if her husband Kaspar Bietenholz was alive at the time of her death?
Apparently she died on Oct 1 and was buried on the third of Oct 1830. Cause of death?

A. Elisabetha Jenta is Caspar Bietenholz "ehl(ich) gel(iebte) Hausfrau" - so the husband has (almost for sure) survived her. Otherwise I would expect something like "Caspar Bietenholz sel(ig) hinterlassne Witwe".
Cause of death: Auszehrung = consumption. This disease was not really well defined - could also be tuberculosis or (less so for her) old age.
As an aside - you write "1800, Anna Elisabetha Jenta's death record, Zurich" (should be 1830 - but this is not my concern): The burial took place in Wetzikon (I assume) - not Zürich! Zürich is the canton (= state) - to mention the parish would be much more useful. If a Swiss reads this, (s)he will take for granted that A. Elisabetha Jenta was buried in the city of Zürich.
