Gravestone: Arne Johansen HUSEBYE

Arne died on 25 Apr 1894 and was buried in the Glenwood Lutheran Cemetery. The inscription below the dates most likely is a variation of "Fred med dit støv, velsignet være dit minde." This means in English, "Peace to your dust [i.e., earthly remains], blessed be your memory."

When I visited my parents in Dec 2014, we took a drive up to Decorah and visited several area cemeteries. I was able to get another shot of Arne's gravestone. The lichens are unfortunately getting thicker.
