She lived for others

Sie lebte fuer andere
Emma Lydia
Frau von Pastor J.S. Kosower
Tochter von
J.H. und D.B. Stepler
1869 — 1910


Emma Lydia died before the 'Great War' when it was free and safe to write in German on public markers. This stone was amongst other German clerical families at Lake View, Cleveland. The epitaph translates as, "She lived for others". A modest soul is defined here in terms of her relations with others. She was a pastor's wife, and a daughter of parents, and she lived for others.
