WOMAN OF UNKNOWN NAME - Died 1873
Epitaph transcribed by Jolanta Kruszniewska
Mit ganzem Herzen Gott ergeben
Auf Gott vertrauend jede Zeit
Treu an Wahrheit fest im Leben
Hieltest stets Du an Redlichkeit
In Liebe streutest still und leise
Auf Erden Du in weltem? Kreise
Devote your whole heart to God
Trusting in God every time
Firmly faithful to truth in life
You always held to honesty
In love you sprinkled yourself silently and quietly
On the earth…
On Tuesday, the beginning of the month of Sivan 633 (May 26, 1873)
She worked with the righteous throughout all the days of her life
Uprightly walked the paths of the Lord
