Could someone please translate this death record?
Hello. :) Could someone please translate the top record regarding Mar. Elis. Schroeder? Here is a link to the original document: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C398-V9V2-9?i=25&cc=3015626. Text is from Deutschland, ausgewählte evangelische Kirchenbücher 1500-1971. The area of her death is Gross Rhodau. (FYI, due to a page break, the record is one page after the original indexing.) Thank you for all your help! I may not have broken past the brick wall, but thanks to your help, I'm building a nice house here with a garden full of probably related people.

Hello @2460101,
Translation:
Number: 26.
Name of the deceased: Mar. Elis. Schroeder, stepdaughter of the farm laborer Mich. Hillmann/Stillmann [in] Stgtb Pirklitz.
Day of death: 28 October [1841].
Age: 22 years.
Female: "12" [= the 12th female to die in this parish/place this year].
Illness: "Nervenfieber" [historically typhus or dysentery; literal translation = nervous fever].
"Erdgeld" [literally "earth money" = burial expenses]: __ 10.
"Glockengeld" [literally "bell money" = fee for tolling the bells]: __ 6.
Sum [of the two preceding columns]: 16.
My comments: Note that the "Erdgeld" and "Glockengeld" columns are each further broken down in two sub-columns which likely represent denominations of currency (akin to dollars and cents), but I can't decipher specifically what these denominations are.]
Here is the link for Pirklitz from Meyers Gazetteer: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/20482003
Pirklitz is approximately 2 miles northeast of Gross Rohdau.
The abbreviation "Stgbg" probably stands for the place called "Stangenberg" which is approximately one mile southeast of Pirklitz. Here is the link for Stangenberg from Meyers Gazetteer: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/20852039
Can you confirm for me whether the stepfather's surname is: Hillmann or Stillmann?

So... I'm looking for Stillmann's and I think this is a Stillmann. I've looked further along in the record and found that they form capital H's quite differently. I know there are Stillmanns in Stangenberg. But I'm just gathering information right now and double checking relationships before I officially attach people.
Fwiw, the relative I'm trying to gather information on is G6LR-5XC and his family members.
Thank you for all your excellent help!!!

You're very welcome, @2460101. On further review, I agree that the surname here is Stillmann.
