Die Hand der Liebe
Deckt Dich zu,
Nun schlummre sanft
in Ewiger Ruh.
In English:
The hand of love
tucks you in,
Now slumber softly
in eternal peace.
The 1900 U.S. Census for Erie County indicates that Louis Scheufler was a dry goods dealer, who was born in Germany. He and his wife Elizabeth stated that they had been married for 39 years in 1900.
