Translation by Howard DeVoe:

First Page

Maria Barbara Wüßner was born 17 November 1851. And on 3 June 1883 I left my native town, Mühlheim am Bach in the region of Sulz am Neckar, Württemberg, and traveled to America; the Lord God was my attendant. He brought me with luck over the sea. On 14 March 1886 I entered the state of wedlock with Johan Jakob Maier, may the Dear God protect and preserve us while we are together. My husband was born on the ocean in 1832 on the 11th of June. My husband (Johan Jakob Maier) died 23 April 1914 at 84 years of age. He has gone home to our heavenly Father.
