About Barbara

Introduction

One can surmise that Barbara was dearly loved. Her tombstone has a photograph which surely must have been incredibly expensive in the early 1900's! And the selected verse engraved, translated (written in German) "I am torn... to be with Christ, or to stay with you" suggests her husband was torn between releasing her and wanting her to be free with Christ Jesus in heaven. Her husband Karl survived her by 10 years.
