Burial Translation
Would someone mind taking a look at my translation? I'm not 100% sure what is listed as the wife's name. It looks like Hanne Luise, but I have another document that reads Anna Maria Louise. Also, I realize the cause of death is age related, but not clear if I used the right word. I appreciate you taking the time, thank you.

Hello @ccr1107,
Your translation is excellent, especially given the poor handwriting. Just a very few minor edits shown in bold:

@Robert Seal_1 Thank you. Johann and his first wife are my direct ancestors, so I did know he remarried right after her death. I know it wasn't in the record, but thought adding it might be helpful if one of the words I missed in the remarks was about the 2nd marriage.

You're welcome, @ccr1107. You're doing very well interpreting and translating these records.
