Alter: Jahr (Years) 29 / Mon(at) 2 [which doesn't quite fit the birth date].
Note: Knowing this page is from Hedingen (not Hausen) makes sense now 😉. By getting married to a Hedingen citizen, A. Elisabetha Jenta got the Hedingen citizenship, and consequently her death is noted in the Hedingen death records. For all other entries on this page either there were two different parishes given for death and burial, or just one parish written over both columns. In this case the "--" indicates that she was also buried in Hausen. You may want to look for the death/burial entry in Hausen.

Wolf: 
Notes: You are correct - she cannot have died 28 September - is buried 1 September - so she will have died 28 August. However, I am not sure that the record states 28 Sep for September - more likely for sepulta = buried.
Her name: in all records I have seen so far she's spelled (Anna) Elisabetha - not just here.
