As reported on 16 January 1872 (vol. IV p. 1 of the records concerning deaths among the Jews), Taube Fraenkel née Fischel, religion Jewish, the wife of Ph. Fraenkel, shochet in Loslau, died on 15 January 1872 at 10 o’clock a.m. at the age of 57 years from the consequences of [archaic medical term “eingeklemmter Schenkeldarmbruch” – my best guess is some variety of strangulated hernia].
Recorded at Loslau on 18 January 1872
Hannig, District Court Assistant as recording secretary
Schaefer, Court Justice

Schenkeldarmbruch makes no sense and couldn't, I think, have been a real medical term. The document writer may have misread the original statement of cause of death, which could have been Schenkelbeinbruch
