Johann Heinrich Trentmann, was profiled on the same page in Udo Thoerner's book, as John Stockhover.

"Noteworthy is the term "Bauer" in Trentmann's death entry. The only ones in Venne referenced as "Bauer" were the Full-Heir or Half Heir farm owners. With this entry, the pastor expressed that the tenant Trentmann had made an enormous social ascent."

"BAUER" just means a "farmer".
