Please translate the last column of the last item on the page. I am not sure that my translation is
correct.

The last column is headed Tag und Jahr des Todes (date and year of death), but the comments on this page don't concern this.
I read: 15 Sgl für 2 überzähl[ige] Tfzgn [Taufzeugen?] which could mean "15 Silbergroschen for 2 surplus baptismal witnesses". Silbergroschen is a coin, so this could mean that you had to pay extra for more than 3 witnesses. Apparently 3 witnesses were "free of charge" whereas for each 2 additional witnesses a fee of 15 Silbergroschen was charged.
Note that for the record above the note is: 2 rl für 8 überzl Tfzgn which would be "2 Reichstaler for 8 surplus baptismal witnesses". 2 Reichstaler equals 60 Silbergroschen, so this amount corresponds to the same fee per additional witness.

Thanks very much for your help. When I first saw this record, I assumed the contents of that column would be related to her death. Then I realized that assumption must be wrong, but I still had no idea what it really said. Thanks.
