Was the eighth child of Johannes and Anna Marie Rauch still born (Dec 1803)?
Hello
Attached is a baptism record I found for a child of my 4 x great-grandparents. The child does not seem to have been named. Did she or he die at birth?
A full translation would be appreciated of the entry second from the bottom on the right side.
Thank you

Hello and Merry Christmas, @Kelly Rauch Hawver,
No, this unnamed little girl was not stillborn but she did die an hour after birth. She had an emergency baptism (possibly by the midwife) because she was likely in danger of dying.
Translation:
Date: born on the 17th of December [1803], at night after 11:00 pm.
Child: a little girl immediately baptized and an hour afterwards died.
Parents: Johannes Rauch, cartwright, and Anna Maria, née Schmidin.
Godparents: [blank].

Hello Robert Seal_1
How sad. This couple did not see many of their children live past three years of age.
Thank you for your time.
Merry Christmas to you as well.
