Translated with the help of a German speaking Find A Grave forum member named Edda (thank you!):

Here rests

Born 10 May 1836
Died 6 May 1889
Age 52 Years
11 Months and 26 Days
We are not eternally separated
From the bond that encloses us
O thought that pours peace
Into my wounded soul!

Encloses is a word with several meanings some of which can be negative, but this is positive and is synonymous of embrace, encircle, encompass, envelop. If you think of the "ties that bind within families" this could mean his family but it could also have a broader meaning of those of the same Christian faith and thus explains why we are not eternally separated.

This is the front of the stone (which faces west) and would have a long spire on top which is engraved Father & Mother but it has been toppled to the other side.

Photo taken June 25, 2011 in response to an April 14, 2011 photo request by Janelle (#47486993). In this photo, I've tried to identify where the stones and graves are located. The top has been knocked off the base. Father and Mother would face the same direction as the face of the stone (which is the opposite side of this view). There are individual stones for William, Frank, Anna Grace, Father and Mother. C.D. is presumably Father.
