Hello Mor,

There is very little information that I can provide for you, as this image is difficult to see and read. But, what appears to me is this....

Deceased: Brana Rubenstein, Jewish, age 60.

Number 6(?). Dated in Sajo, 1 February 1898.
Informant: Ábrahám Fruchter, businessman, residence Sajopojána, whom the below-written registrar knows personally.
Deceased: Brana Rubinstein, Jewish, day-laborer, residence Sajopojána, birthplace Szacsal, age 60 years
Spouse: Slojm(?) Ovics(?)
Father: Elia Rubinstein, businessman, Szacsal resident
Mother: Haja(?) Rozenberg, businessman's wife, Szacsal resident
Death: 30 January 1898, 6 p.m.
Cause: hydrops
Remark: informant Abrahám Fruchter that he bears direct knowledge of the death and was asked to make the report by the deceased's husband or rather (???)'s husband.

I opened the image in an image editor and adjusted things like brightness and contrast, but the resolution is just not high enough to figure out that word in the remark. But no, I did not mistakenly leave out a word: the original appears to be missing a verb ("declared" or "remarked" or similar) in the remark.

The word used for the occupation of all of the men, _üzér_, is modernly rather pejorative: "profiteer, scalper, trafficker, speculator". A very literal translation could be "pursuer", as both "pursue" and _űz_ have the dual meanings of "chase" and "practise, carry on, play". _Üzér_ is clearly being used here in its now-obsolete sense of "merchant, trader, businessman".
