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 |
