Under this sod, here lies
Helena Zupan
Died 15 Oct 1891
in the 35th year of her age
Jakob Zupan
Born 7 July 1891
Died 3 June 1895*
*The newspaper announcement was dated June 6, 1895 and stated that the child had died the day before. It is possible that the date of death could be either June 3 or June 5. I can find no records to indicate which is correct, so I have gone with what is shown on the headstones.
A huge thank you to Dfilpus & Kuca Vica on the FaG forums for the translation of the inscription
