Day 1245

An intact headstone

May 28th, 2015



I was standing here thinking about what I had seen so far when I realized I was looking right at a big headstone flipped upside down. Peering beneath it, I was able to make out a name: Katerina Petranek.



The inscription is in Czech:

ZOE ODPOCIVA V PANU
NASE MILOVANA MATKA
KATERINA PETRANEK
ZEMRELA S PROSINCE 1911,
V STARI 69 ROKU.
SPI SLADCE DRAHA MATI
LEHKE ODPOCINUTI DEJSTI PANE.


A rough internet translation tells me that Ms. Petranek died in December 1911 at the age of 69.
