The two large Winter headstones in Plot
12 were recently re-erected after having lain covered by periwinkle on the ground
for about thirty years.
Frederick Julius Winter (1810 – 1866) and Marie Catherina Winter (1818 – 1898)
One of the large headstones records the
births and deaths of Friedrich and Marie
Winter from Mecklenburg. Beneath
Friedrich’s name is an inscription in
German which reads:
Herr, ich habe lieb die Stätte deines Hauses
Und den Ort, da deine Ehre wohnet.
Lord the area and place of your abode
Is dear to me as your glory dwells therein.
Marie’s inscription reads:
Die richtig vor sich gewandelt haben
Kommen zum Frieden.
Those that have walked faithfully
Will experience peace.
