From FHL 0073201, Westhausen, Evangelical Lutheran Church, Parish Registers, Volume I, Burials 1557 – 1680, Sheet 467, first line :
“1680.
“Den 4 January Philip Rücker Begraben worden.
“Den 6 Februarÿ, He. Johann Caspar Franck Pfarrer
alhier gestorben worden 12 Begraben worden.”

Translated from the German :
“1680.
“On 4 January Philip Rücker[t] was buried.
“On 6 February, Mr. Johann Caspar Franck Pastor
of this place died, [ on the ] 12[th] was buried.”

Here’s the rest of the original page.  Not all the dead were Evangelical.  On this page, just below the entry for the Rev. Johann Caspar Franck, two people “of the Papist religion” were listed as buried — a maiden named Elisabetha König on 19 April and a poor man named Erhard Lüpolt from “Birlefeld” on 6 May.
