Additional information

 

 

 

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.
