Tombstone Tuesday – 08/04/09

The inscription is very faint and is written in German.  From what I can tell, the stone is for Joseph Pebry(?), who was born in October 1905 and died in February 1906.  Joseph is buried in St. Joseph’s Cemetery in Bloomington.

    Hello, from what I can read the inscription says

    Hier ruhet in Frieden
    Joseph Petry
    Geb. Oct 1905 (Geboren)
    Gest. Feb 1906 (Gestorben)
    ruhet sanft

    Here rests in peace
    Joseph Petry
    born Oct 1905
    died Feb 1906
    rest gently

    Markus
