Inscription
Hier ruhet/ Jacob Brodrecht/ geb. 28 März 1817/ gest. 9 April 1867/ Alt 50 Jah. 12 Ta./
Zu ihm fleht mein verlangen./ Da wollt ich gerne hin;/ Die Welt bin ich durchgangen/ Dasz ich fast müde bin./ Je länger ich hier wolle,/ Je weniger sind die Freud./ Die meinem Geist gefalle;/ Das meist ist Herzeleid./
Gravesite Details
The stone is set in the east exterior wall of a pavilion, among other monuments that were originally erected in two local cemeteries that no longer exist. Remains exhumed from these graveyards were reburied in a common grave in Riverside Cemetery.
