The remembrance card to the right says "In Loving Remembrance of Nancy Forsting Died Nov. 23, 1913. Aged 84 Years. Gone but not forgotten A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. God in His wisdom has recalled, The boon his love had given; And though the body slumbers here, The soul is safe in Heaven."
My grandmother, Nancy's granddaughter, always said the last name was spelled "Fosting", not "Forsting". The marriage certificate says "Fosting" as well.
According to the family bible, Nancy was born on May 20, 1929. That would make the gravestone incorrect. She was 84 years, 6 mos. and 3 days old when she died.
