I did not find any information on Ida Linenfelser, however, Find-a-Grave shows her name on this monument and the larger brown slab monument adjacent. It can be partially seen in my wider shot.
This zinc marker is approximately three feet tall and in the shape of a cross on a mound. The text on the mound reads, in German:
Dich Meeres-Stern Wir
Gruessen!
O Maria Hilf!
Translated through Google translate:
Greetings you sea star!
O Maria Help!
The cross has ivy on it with a quatrefoil at the top. The rest of the text is on the cross:
Born:
Dec. 6,
1864.
Died
April 27,
1892.
The reverse of this marker is plain. As want of these zinc markers to do, some evidence of splitting is occurring on the top of the rounded mound.
