A perhaps too quick look at Wikipedia included water on the lungs/tuberculosis under wattersot.
Thank you very much for your input....
As I process this information questions come to mind:
1) Was kammerjunker Wedel Heinen an individual? I take it that he was in as much as the census lists him as born in 1791 and he was an "Enkemand"
2) Is "Kammerjunker" a given name? It seems quite unusual for a Danish given name. Is it native Danish or from elsewhere?
3) Was "von Wedel Heinen" a prominent family in Denmark? I note there are multiple individuals of that name.
4) To me "von" represents " of or from", hence, was this a location?
These are questions of interest and any feedback would be appreciated....thank you..
Kammerjunker is an honorary title. See the English Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valet_de_chambre
Andreas Claus (von) Wedel-Heinen was ennobled in 1826:

Originally, yes: http://finnholbek.dk/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I34284&tree=2
Vejle, which in the Middle Ages was written Wæthla, Wæthel, and Vedel.
Heinen was added to the name in 1826, when he was ennobled.
