Death request--Freiß

TrishAndersen

Here is what I can easily read of the ninth record down:

Greifenstein June 3 (1765) died?????????????? Phil. Conr. Freiß ? 71 1/2 years old. Is the writing I dont understand indicating a church elder? (please provide the german/english words to add to my german vocab) More important is he a widower--I am needing to find out if such is the case so I can have a direction to go on her death.

Thanks

Transcription -

Greifenst. 3ten Jun starb der Kirchenältester und Gerichtschöffen Phil Conr Frieß alt 71 u 1/2 Jahr

Translation -

Greifenst 3 Jun died the church elder and member of the court Phil Conr Frieß age 71 1/2 years

Note - no mention that he is a widower, but that only means that this status wasn't recorded, not necessarily that his wife was still living.
