Good afternoon Kent,

Translation of death record per your request:

On the 11th of February [1794] at night at 8:00 pm [died] and was on the 13th of the same month buried: Maria Margaretha "Kemrain", whose husband is Philipp Scholl, the local citizen and master tailor, age 33 years, 23 days.

Comments: Despite the odd spelling of the surname in this record, I believe this is "your" Maria Margaretha Kemm. Here is the link to Maria Margaretha Kemm's January 1761 birth/baptismal record from Ancestry: https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/38825768:9866?tid=&pid=&queryId=05a369b2f47e5e390015396443ced1c1&_phsrc=ITU42&_phstart=successSource

Birth date matches perfectly with her age at death.

I'm guessing the pastor couldn't read his own notes and misread "Kemmin" as "Kemrain".

Robert, Thanks for this translation. And thanks for the extra research on Ancestry. Sometimes when you see strange spellings you might think you have the wrong person but this does appear to be the correct Margaretha Kemm. Pastors make mistakes like all the rest of us. All the best, Kent
