    Mathild Lalause monument

    What a cosmopolitan place the little mining town of Castle Shannon must have been! We very seldom run across an inscription in French around here, but here we have one mixed in with the Italian and Polish and Slovenian tombstones. A translation:

    LAMENTED MOTHER
    HERE

    MATHILDE LALAUSE
    DEPARTED
    FEBRUARY 1, 1915
    AT THE AGE OF 62 YEARS
