The word before Tornbergs appears to be "rustm." which is probably "rustmästare" which is "master at arms" or "keeper of an armory". The cause of death is "koppor-smallpox"

koppor is not mainly smallpox. Koppor was a very common cause of death, especially amongst the children. Thus koppor is more likely just a pox or children's pox.
