died März 19 / buried März 23 (1875)
Johannes Wolfensperger, Wittwer der Anna Jenta, von Etenhausen, aged 75y 3m 4d
In the comments we find 3 columns:
1) date of birth (here 15 XII 1799)
2) empty in most cases (also here) - another example: auswärts männlich 6. This man (a woman would be weiblich) was most likely buried elsewhere (with a running number).
3) No entry in such cases - but an abbreviation plus a number for all other deceased: as these would have been buried in Wetzikon, I assume this would document the grave, consisting of an abbreviated cemetery section name (which I cannot interpret, one could be Wald) plus a grave number.
https://www.wetzipedia.ch/index.php/Friedhof describes the development of the Wetzikon cemetery (cemeteries) - without answering this question. Irene Tobler of the Archiv Ortsgeschichte might be able to help.

I have just sent Irene Tobler an email with several questions - incl. the interpretation of this column.

Thanks for sending Irene Tobler the column question. The Wetzikon Friedhof has quite an extensive history with lots of changes. As always you are extremely thorough.
