Description
Note: Signatur: "Wenz". Der Name auf dem Grabstein ist schlecht lesbar, es handelt sich um Wilhelm Heinrich Höflinger, Hoffinger oder Hoflinger, geb. 20. Mai 1870, gest. 28. April 1899, auch die Daten sind unsicher.
Note translation: Presumably "M.L." is short for "Mein lieber", i.e. "my dear Wilhelm's grave". (PJ 08/00). - NB the signature on the image is "Wentz". It is extremely difficult to read the inscription. But it seems to be for Wilhelm Heinrich Höflinger (or Hoffinger or Hoflinger). Born 2. May 1870, died 28th April 1899. But the reading of these dates is also uncertain.
