Hello Carolyn,
I do not have a specific answer or translation, I often find myself in the same situation when trying to decipher church records.
Regarding the cause of death, it might be harder than you think. Very often it is harder than you thing. The term for the cause of death many times (usually) is an old 19th century medical term. It might even be a Platte Deutsche word. We also have this in English. The person died of "Grip". The modern tern is Pneumonia. So the person died of Pneumonia.
I don't know where you are seeing the word heuerling. If it is after the persons name, it could be an occupation or social status. My first thought is that the person was a "day laborer" or "hire-ling". I don't know the correct or final answer, but that would be a guess.
Anyway, good luck and keep trying.
