Additional information

 

 

Johann Gottlob Schultz (1788 – 1875) and Marie Schultz (1790 – 1875)

Buried within the Siebel plot are Johann Gottlob and Marie Schultz, who were related by marriage, their son Ernst Schultz having married Henriette Siebel. Nearby are the graves of various other Schultz family members. The Schultz family settled at Wollert and established a dairy farm, with descendants still farming there today.

 

Johann Gottlob and Marie Schultz’s headstone has the following inscription:

 

Selig sind die Todten die in

Dem Herrn sterben. Von nun an

Sie ruhen von ihrer Arbeit

Denn ihre Werke folgen ihnen nach.

Offb, 14.13

Blessed are the dead which
die through the Lord. From now on
they rest from their labour
as their works will follow them.
Revelations, 14.13

 

Emma Louise Schultz (d. 1873)

The small headstone over Emma Louise Schultz’s grave records that she was only four weeks old when she died in 1873. The daughter of Ernst and Henriette Schultz, her dedication in German reads:

 

Jesus Spricht: Lasset die

Kindlein zu mir kommen

Und whret ihnen nicht

Denn solches is das Reich

Gottes.

Marcus 10.14

Christ says: Let the

children gather round me

and don’t hinder them

as this is the realm of

God.

Mark 10.14
