Rudolf Wehrli dies 30 Aug 1847.

the note says that Rudolf Wehrli was buried before the time period required by law had passed, on the doctor's recommendation. Perhaps he died from a contageous disease.  After Rudolf's name it says "Herrenbaeuerle", which is likely a nickname and literally means "the lord's farmer".  Translation aka Baerbel Johnson
