Spelling of a location
In this 1795 death record, there is a village name I cannot make out. It looks something like "Ottenbüll" but I cannot find a town with that name in Meyer's Gazetteer, especially near Scheppern where the mother died. The village of Düttebüll is a possibility, but is a long distance from the Scheppern/Erfde area of Germany, so I doubt that is the village.

Hello @Robt_Nielsen,
I read the place as "Offenbüll" and wonder if it is perhaps Osteroffenbüll: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/20429020

P.S. There's also another place called Offenbülldeich in the same area: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/20405052
And the place written after Offenbüll in the record is: Uelvesbüll = Ülvesbüll, also in the same area: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/20989024
All of these places are reasonably close to Scheppern.

I can accept that suggestion because I suspect that some of these young women met young men who worked the Eider River but originated from elsewhere upstream or downstream.
Now I realize I was focused on the location but did not transcribe the remainder of that line. Can you help on that?
