I guess I wasn't clear in my original post. There is a word between "Dietrich and "aus" that I can't decipher. I can decipher and translate all the rest of the writing, but not that one word. Since the words are hand written in paint, I've even looked at old German writing styles but still can't figure out what the letters are. I've taken a photo of the mystery word, but can't figure out how to attach a photograph to this post. (If anyone can help me with that process, I'll add the photo of the word and see if anyone can help.) One of the problems is that the paint is starting to fade (after 162 years I'm not surprised) so it is very difficult to determine what the letters are in the mystery word. I can email the photo of the mystery word to anyone who wants to try to solve this.
