Translation:
Mr. Johann Georg Kümpel, cantor and school teacher here, aged 62 years and 24 days, died of consumption of the lungs on February 11th, the Saturday before Invocavit Sunday in the afternoon 2 o'clock and was buried thereupon on February 14th at noon 1 o'clock in the local graveyard with a funeral music, quiet funeral company and speech at the altar. He was born in Altenbreitungen on January 18th, 1775. After his dismissal from school, he decided to become a teacher, and especially under the guidance of the late court and town organist Vierling in Schmalkalden he laid the foundation for his esteemed musical art. Vierling's spirit lived in his organ playing. After he had completed his education at the school teacher seminar in Meiningen, he assisted the late Kantor Müller here as an assistant. After his death in 1797, he was assigned the local school position as vicarius and in 1799 as school teacher. In the same year, on November 19, after three banns, he married Maid Eva Maria Duh_? of Altenbreitungen. The following children were born in this marriage: 1.) Johannes Rutger, born August 26, 1800, rector(?) in Trarbach and pastor in Traben on the Moselle in the administrative district of Koblenz; 2.) Anna Christine, born August 20, 1802, died April 23, 1803; 3.) Margarethe Christiane, born March 26, 1805, died July 2, 1806; 4.)

In the first document, Could the wife's last name be Döhrer? That is a name found in this area. Paula Rail

Hello Paula,
"Döhrer" is well possible; the rather thick pen stroke makes it difficult to differentiate between various possible alternatives.
Do you need the birth record translated?

Translation of the birth record for Johann Georg Kümpel:
On 18 June [1775] a son was born to Master Johann Georg Kümpel, butcher and innkeeper in Altenbreitungen and Eva Catharina Mass/Muss and baptized on the 19th of the same month. Witness: Master Johann Georg Kümpel, neighbor and butcher in Wernshausen. But since he could not come here himself, his son, Master Ju_? David Kümpel, butcher and innkeeper in Wernshausen took the place of sponsor.
+ [died] 11 Feb. 1837
Name: Johann Georg.
Comment: I the death record of Johann Georg Kümpel I read the month of birth incorrectly as Jan[uary]; it must be June there as well.
