Subject: [OSTFRIESEN] help with translation

Could someone help me translate this in a way that makes more sense than
what Google translator tells me:

(death date), Lungenentzundung, plötzlich u. unverhofft in Petkum, als er
von dem Canal bei Stickhausen, wohin er vor einigen Wochen gegangen war, um
nebst andern von hier daran zu arbeiten, wieder nach Haus zurück kehrte, um
von der Krankheit, die ihn einige Tage vorher befallen hätte, bei den Seinen
hieselbst wieder zu nesen; 45 J, morgens vor d. Predigt

Another question: does hitzigen Krankeit refer to a quickly advancing
disease or does it mean a high-fever disease?

Thanks for your help!
