Also in the old cemetary are some striking headstones. The first is Maria Cattarina Becker 1743 and the last 1954. Many of the stones are illegible or damaged in sandstone or wood and to make it even more difficult, early inscriptions are in old German.

I believe the date is 1751. The angel is striking and there is a Thor symbol at the top.

Regina was held captive for 8 years and was identified by her mother as the little girl was singing a German song.

Herbs were planted in old cemetaries to offset the odor of decomposition. We found some old thyme originally planted in the 1700's.
