VATER
FRIEDRICK KOSCHNICK
GEB. 1. MÄRZ 1832
GEST. 16. MÄRZ 1901

MUTTER
AUGUSTE KOSCHNICK
GEB. ELIAS
GEB. 29. SEPT. 1845

At age 55, Auguste Elias Koschnick had survived her husband and six children. No death date is given on her tombstone. What are the possibilities?

Perhaps, there was no one left to complete her headstone with a date of death. A more positive spin would be that she remarried and is buried with her second husband. After so much heartbreak, I hope she found happiness.
