Reading aid Burial Record 1863

I am interested in record for Justine Block (Lerch is second husband).. 4 children are listed. It is quite extensive, and I feel I am struggling to read it.
Just curious, in your opinion, if In 1850 father's burial record there were 2 older daughters listed that are now missing - should I assume they are deceased?
Thank you.

 
This is not a complete listing of children.
The absence of other children from this death record does not necessarily mean that there were no other children alive or deceased.
The top of the column reads as follows:
"minors (or children who are otherwise subject to guardianship) or other heirs of the deceased, insofar as the pastor is aware of them"

Four living heirs are listed. If the pastor had known of any other deceased children, he would not included them, because they were no longer heirs.

Two possible answers to your question:
1. the missing daughters were still alive but the pastor did not know about them
2. these daughters had deceased (more likely)
