Here rests missed by all Cathrina Maragreta Lasle the wife of Henerich Lasle born on 25 February 1774 died 31 May 1808 became 34 years 3 months and 4 days of age. Death came too fast to me and I had to leave behind so sad a husband and small children and also parents, brothers and sisters. From you I had to part now. God will also be your helper. God is leading me now from suffering and sorrow to Heaven. The ones I left behind and you, tombstone fill me with sadness.
