Help with the place name in the 1st column of this burial record please
This is a burial record for Matthias Ressmerowski, 4th entry from the bottom of the page. I have transcribed most of the relevant data but if anyone is willing to provide a transcription that would be appreciated. But, my main question is this: in the 1st column there is an entry that is a place name. At first glance it appears to be Liepno. An internet search for that place suggests there is no such place, and gives a result of Lipno instead. Does anybody know if this is one and the same place? And, what is the relevance of that place in this document? Is it a place of birth? death? registration? Perhaps somebody has experience with this record format and knows the purpose of the 1st column.
Much appreciated.
David

Hello @DavidWeckwerth,
Liepno and Lipno are the same place, which is today located in Poland.
Here is the link for Lipno from the German Meyers Gazetter (published circa 1911-12) when Lipno was still located in the German Empire: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/20080010
Lipno in this record is where the deceased person died.
