Tag: Gros (Maria Dorothea)

  • Maria Dorothea Gros Grave, Voegtly Cemetery

    A popular genre of German grave: the single unit with headstone, footstone, and sides, the whole thing looking very much like a nineteenth-century bedstead. Maria Dorothea Gros was born in the little town of Lorbach in Hessen-Darmstadt, now the German state of Hesse. A translation of the inscription:

    HERE GENTLY RESTS IN PEACE
    MARIA DOROTHEA
    GROS,
    SPOUSE OF
    JACOB GROS.
    BORN AUGUST 24, 1828
    IN LORBACH,
    HESSEN-DARMSTADT.
    DIED SEPTEMBER 27, 1888.
