| It is possible to make out most of the writing on one of the pictures, but it looks like the resolution is not good enough on the others. On the other hand, it looks like the tombstone itself is well preserved. Would it possible to obtain better photos? |

Good idea. Nice to know the tombstone itself is not faded out - just need better photos.
I will be going up that way this summer so will get some better photos.
Thanks much for the suggestion. ~~Kay |

Thanks so much for making out the inscription. And for the lovely translation!
Now we know their message to us from 127 years ago.

Kjære Moder
GURINE
SJETNE
Født den
13 Feb. 1833
Døde den
23 Juli 1901.
Ja mod alting, som mig
Krænker, giver dine Vunder
Kraft. Naar sig hjertet i dem
sænker, Finder jeg ny Leve
Kraft, Din den Himmel søde
Død vender al min Nag og
Nød, At du Salighed mig
bragte, da du Døden for
mig smagte.
The text is a verse taken from old church Hymn used for prayer and confession. |

4th verse of this hymn, translated from original in German. This appears to be an English translation of the same. From this I learned the old Norwegian/Danish word Vunde, meaning Wound. |

Thank you for info on Gurine. Very interesting hymn.
But Google Translate not the best ==
Yes to everything, like me
Violates, gives your Wonders
Power. Reaches the heart in them
lowers, I find new Living
Power, Your heavenly sweet
Death turns all my Nag and
Enjoyed That You Blessed Me
brought when you Death for me tasted.
Any corrections would be appreciated. |

Google Translate is not quite up to the task here. Just a few improvements on the choice of words, keeping the original word order. If you shuffle the words around, you may find some sense in this.
Yes against everything, that me
Violates, give your Wounds
Strength. Itself the heart in them
submerges, I find new Living
Power, Your heavenly sweet
Death reverses all my Bitterness and
Distress That You Bliss Me
brought when you Death for me tasted. |

Thank you. That helps a lot.
But looks like words twisted to make poetry of it.
Probably not our idea of an epitaph that would be used in today's world.
