Good evening Kent,
Translation:
Heading at the top of this page: In the year of Christ 1775 died here in Graben.
Translation of record:
Died 19 October [1775] at 2:00 pm and was buried on the 21st of the same month.
Friderich Wilhelm Raicher, former citizen and "Bader" here, age 63 years, 11 months, 2 days.
My comments: The first name is spelled "Friderich" in this record.
The occupation "Bader" translates as bathhouse operator or barber.

Good morning, Kent:
Here are two links which explain the profession of "Bader"
The first is from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bader Read the introductory sentence which explains the connection between bathhouse operator and barber.
The second, more detailed explanation comes from the German Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bader Use your browser's translate function to translate to English.
