Kathi (Chume) Hamburger

Katharine was born June 19, 1817 the sixth of the 12 children of Moses and Josefa (née Schreiber) Hamburger. Her gravestone was used as part of a cellar in Žešov.

Katharine suffered an unfortunate fall in childhood, injuring her spine, which got distorted, and various other ailments added to this, including insanity at a later stage; she died 25 September 1875. The verse on her gravestone suggests a troubled life.

"Where Death as a merciful friend of salvation Appears as the relieving angel of peace, There is no place for unappeasable sorrow. You, whom Death bereft too soon, Mind. Is life suffering? Certainly, Then your life, too, has been eternal.“
