Hello again @Tom Randolph,
I found the record in the next volume for the year 1791: https://archives.bas-rhin.fr/detail-document/ETAT-CIVIL-C204-P2-R140777#visio/page:ETAT-CIVIL-C204-P2-R140777-1600080
Here's what I read: starb an einer hitzigen Krankheit wozu endlich der Brand kam = died of a fiery/heated/feverish/acute illness to which the fire finally came.
This doesn't make much sense but I can't find another word for what I think is the word "Brand" = fire.

P.S. I have a nineteenth century German-to-English medical dictionary which defines the word "Brand" as: scald; scalding; burn; gangrene; mortification; necrosis; anthrax.
If that word is "Brand" it seems to be a catch-all for many different medical problems.

You're welcome, Tom. I agree with your interpretation of the cause of death: essentially that Anna Barbara died when the fever reached a climax.

Hello @Tom Randolph: Please check the image you provided. All of the records in this image are for the year 1790 and your record is for the year 1791. I am unable to find the image you are referring to.

@Robert Seal_1 , my apologies for giving the wrong link! Arrggh! But thanks for figuring it out. It sounds like essentially a feverish illness where the fever finally killed her, something like that. Much appreciated!
