Good afternoon, Kent,
Translation:
No. 9. In the year of Christ 1847, on the 24th of February, early at 1:00 am died here and on the 25th of the same month in the evening at 4:00 pm was buried here: Philippine Scholl, unmarried citizen's daughter, age 17 years, 2 month, 10 days. Her parents are: Philipp Scholl, citizen and mason here, and the deceased Christine Kraus[s].
Witnesses are: Christoph Zimmermann, citizen and weaver here. (2) Christoph Werner, citizen and day laborer here.
Graben, on the 25th of February 1847. T. Crecelius, pastor.
My comments:
"Bürgerstochter" = citizen's daughter.
In most if not all of the other records I have translated for you, the mother Christine's surname has been spelled: Krauß = Krauss, so I added the second "s" to her surname here.
Despite your list of pastors saying Pastor Crecelius' first initial is a "G.", here it looks like a "T." Compare the "T." in the signature to the capital "G" in the word "Graben" in the line immediately above.

You're welcome, Kent. Sad for Philippine who lost her mother at one and then died herself as a 17-year-old.
FYI: There is another correction you can make in the Graben Pastors "Short List" for T. Crecelius: it says: Feb 19 1758 is his last Graben entry. It should read: Feb 19 1858 is his last Graben entry.

I think you are right on the first initial for Crecelius, pastor of Graben. I made the change to the list of pastors. I'm sure that list need small refinements. This correction is helpful. Thanks as always.
Philippine was about a year old when her mother Christine Krauss died on 14 Nov 1830. That left Philipp, master mason with 8 children from 1 to eighteen to raise. Having lost my first wife in 1994 (who left me with 6 children to raise) I have empathy for anyone with that challenge.

He raised 7 children, Wilhelm died at 5 before his mother passed in 1830.
