"Marie" Maria Wittmann, geboren Lind, was the wife of "Johann" Johannes Wittmann. They had two sons: Heinrich Wittmann who was killed in Russia in WWII (his body was never repatriated, but a memorial marker for him was added to his parents' grave) and "Jean" Johannes Wittmann who married Elise Fusser (Füßer).
Marie was the daughter of Christof Lind & Maria/Marie Schumann, which can be seen on their 21 September 1907 wedding certificate from Speyer attached.
Johann & Marie Wittmann lived on Kirchgasse on the opposite side of the street from the church. The Wittmanns were a wealthy farming family of the village. Andreas Wittmann himself was a State Employee (very impressive in those days) as a Forester, a Landmeister.
This grave marker for Johann Wittmann, wife Marie geboren Lind Wittman, and their son Heinrich Wittman, is no longer there. The 30yr land-lease on the cemetery plot has expired, and the space was passed on to the next generation in the family. -- If Johann & Marie's other son who survived WWII to marry, Jean & Elise geboren Füßer, lived at least 30yrs beyond Johann's 1947 death (which would've been 1977) & Marie's 1965 death (which would've been 1995) then they would have inherited this "available" double plot. This plot could still have their (Jean & Elise) headstone if at least one of them died within the last 30yrs of 2022 (since 1992), or if they both died before 1992, the double-plot could indeed be on to a third generation. -- I recall, growing up, having the name Füßer pointed out to me by mother as married to a "Wittmann Boy". Füßers are still in Haßloch/Pfalz today.
