Rebecca Mark Carvell was my great-great-great-grandmother. She is believed to be buried in Grubbs Church Cemetery, Chapman Township, Snyder County, Pennsylvania. The following is translated from German:
From Der Christliche Botschafter, January 1, 1848
On 24 November died blessed in the Lord in Chapman Twp., Pa., Rebekka Carwell, a daughter of Joh. and Christina Merck, aged 26 y, 1 m, and 9 d. She leaves her grieving parents, many relations and brothers and sisters, also a sorrowful husband together with four still undergrown children. The pain of her suffering is forgotten but her memory lives strong in remembrance, and her restored soul lives in Heaven's rest.
