I read the missing part as:

...unter Haltung einer Kantzel Abdankung auf dem Gottesacker zu Graben ehrlich zur Erde bestattet worden.

...with a pulpit speech honestly buried to the earth on the cemetery of Graben.

Abdankung is an old term, no longer in use, for a funeral speech (www.woerterbuchnetz.de/DWB?lemid=A00169, enter Abdankung at "Stichwort suchen")

Gottesacker, literally god's acre, an older term for cemetery.

Good morning @Kent Gardiner,

I see you've had a lot of lookers but no takers on this request. I can provide you with the vital details of this record but the specific details of the funeral at the end of the 5th line of text and the beginning of the 6th line escape me. Hopefully another community volunteer can help us out with these details.

Translation:

In the left margin: Anna Jacobea Heilin, née Cammererin.

On the 9th of September 1689, in the morning between 7:00 am and 8:00 am, the blessed Anna Jacobea, surviving widow of Hanß Conrad Heÿl, citizen here, died in her Savior Jesus Christ, in the damp, and to be precise in the forest, who on the 10th of September thereafter according to Christian custom _________________________________________________________ to the grave was honestly buried into the earth. She lived approximately 57 years.

Will this help?

Hi Kent,

Yes, it helps somewhat but there are two key words which I am unable to decipher.

Here is a transcription of the last part of line 5 and the first part of line 6:

. . . unter Haltung einer _______? Abdeckung auf dem Go____-____? zu Grabe(n) . . .

Without those two words, I am unable to decipher this phrase. If I am reading "Abdeckung" correctly, that word translates as: cover or covering.

Be patient and hopefully another community member will be able to translate this portion of the record.

Robert Seal_1 Thanks for not giving up. This is an interesting record in that it tells the place of death. That is highly unusual. KG
