The burial date is somewhat confusing. May 24, May 14 (Billeter) or July 12.

Maj 24 (1819)

Hartmann Jenta von Etenhausen starb in holländischen Diensten zu Naumur [age partially crossed out, cannot be read for sure] Thyphus.

So the date is definitively May 24. The entry above is July 12

Hartmann Jenta died in Naumur (Belgium), whilst in Dutch service, from typhoid fever. It will have taken some time for this message to reach Wetzikon - so it was noted a bit out of chronological sequence.

According to Billeter Hartmann was divorced August 1801. He was married about 2.5 years. Are those noted in the records we have been using? I'm guessing the divorce could be mixed in with the marriages. I will have a look.

I couldn't find the divorce.

I don't think the church knew divorces - so you won't find it in church records. You'd have to consult court records. I recommend you post your question on https://www.geneal-forum.com/phpbb/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=33897 - other forum members know more about such issues than me.
