Can someone translate these column headings?

I'm looking at funeral records from Melle, St. Matthäus. The 4th record is my 2g-grandfather, and the 5th record is my 2g-grandmother. I don't see the dates that they died, and I have no idea what the headings on the columns mean. Google translate is no help due to my ignorance of the font.

Best answer
Original Ort des Todes Voller Name, Stand und Wohnort Alter Eltern nach Namen und Stand Tag und Stunde des Todes Todesart Tag des Begräbnisses Bemerkungen
Translation Place of death Name, stand, residence Age Parents with name and stand Day and hour of death Cause of death Date of burial Comment
Comment Stand can mean various thing like class/status, occupation, marital status given as years, months, days Dates is written in words. Can't fully decipher, but definitely February and March. 
 
Seems to be

or "Altersschwäche"
seems to contain date of birth

If the date of death remains undecipherable, the same date should be returned of the age is added to the date of birth.

For the male: the comment column contains the text

geb(oren) Iburg 28. Aug. 1797.

= b(orn) Iburg 28 Aug. 1797.

He was buried on 5 February.

His parents: "Karl Schmehl Militärarzt und dessen Ehefrau Maria Anna Zumbrink" (Karl Schmehl military doctor and his wife Maria Anna Zumbrink). He died in Bakum a part of Melle near Osnabrück.

He died on 1 February 10:30 a.m.

The wife: Died in Melle.

Name: Schmehl Katahrina Elisabeth Wittwe zu Bakum geb. Kellinghausen

(Schmehl Katahrina Elisabeth widow (residing in) Bakum nee Kellinghausen

She died March 6 at 10 p.m.

She was buried on March 10.

And born in Iburg on 3 Nov 1808.
Thank you so much. I found a pdf online that contains all the various fonts that Germans used with their English equivalents. That will help me a lot.

I noticed that they got Carl's birth year wrong. He was born in 1798 according to his baptism record. And Catherine was born in 1801, not 1808 according to her baptism record.
