    Just quickly ...

    .

    Using, both, Latin & German, Word & Script, Lists in 'FamilySearch' ...

    .

    Maybe ...

    .

    -----

    25 Day of 31 October ( Namely 1??? 2?? ) I buried

    Jos Hillermann

    -----

    .

    Possibilities

    1 = Quirin (a Male Name)

    2 = ?????

    .

    Die = day of

    XXXI = 31

    Viz. = namely

    sepelivi = I buried

    .

    Here are some of the references, I found what looked about right ...
