Additional information
Nebel family
Three generations of Nebels
arrived in Australia aboard the
Acmel in 1855. Several Nebel
headstones have recently been
restored, including that of Georg
and Friederike Nebel, which lay for
many years in small pieces on the
ground. Beside it is the grave of
Georg’s parents Georg and Anna
Dorothea Nebel.
Strangely, the birth dates inscribed on three of the memorials to German-born members of the Nebel family appear to be incorrect. According to German baptism registers, Georg Sr was born on 18 December 1791, not 2 February 1793; Anna Dorothea was born on 20 February 1794, not 18 March 1796; and Fredericke was born on 18 August 1829, not 28 August 1828. Georg Jr's headstone birthdate appears to be correct.
Martha Nebel (1866 – 1899)
The headstone of Martha Nebel (1866 – 1899) has the
following inscription, from the hymn 'Liederschalz', in German.
Wer weiss, wie nahe mir mein Ende?
Hingeht die Zeit, herkommt der Tod:
Ach, wie geschwinde und behende
Kann komen meines Todes Noth!
Mein Gott, ich bitt’ durch Christi Blut
Mach’s nur mit meinem Ende gut. |
Who knows, how near is my end?
Times passes, death approaches:
Oh, how promptly and swiftly
The plight of my death may come!
My God, I ask through Christ’s blood,
Let me pass peacefully. |
