English translation: unknown. The spelling and grammar of the original are poor
and my skills not equal to a translation but it seems to be a poem about death.
Even though it is titled by Jochim Geipp, I don't think it describes his demise.

Included in the Bible are three additional items:

(1) blotting paper with advertising for Concordia Theological Seminary of the
Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod
(2) one page of church bulletin entitled The Gospel Voice dated 1 March 1927
from St. Louis, Mo.
(3) newspaper clipping from 14 Sep 1919 printed in Lincoln Nebraska [name of
paper includes the wordes ...e Sunday]
An obituary for Anton Olman, long time resident of Lancaster county who
died September 6. With his family he left his home in Illinois over forty years
ago and settled on a farm four miles west of Cortland. Funeral services were
held at the Methodist Episcopal church at Cortland, September 9. Had Mr Oltman
lived until the spring 1920, he and his wife would have celebrated the fiftieth
anniversary of their marriage.
