UPDATE:
A German-speaking cousin sent me a transcription of the headstone in German (see Valentin's memorial) and the English translation as follows:
"Here rest our
beloved parents, Valentin
Himelberger and Elisabeth.
He was born Germany 9 Dec 1709
and died on 9 Mar 1787 in
age of 78 years 3 months.
She was born Germany November 6, 1713
and died 1 June 1788 with
49 years of happy marriage
surrounded by 8 children,
in age of 75 years
7 months."
Thank you Ber Hommelberg.
Note: The math on the headstone is off by a year for both Valentin and Elisabeth. He would be 77 yrs 3 mos., she would be 74 yrs 7 mos.
