The photo above was taken on November 1, 2008 while I was visiting and exploring Round Grove Cemetery in Lewisville, Texas. This plot is owned by the Wolters family. The head stone reads:

Der herr hat euch gegeben
Der han nahm euch dahin.
The head stone rests in the center of the plot and on either side are two stones for each boy. One is the stone lying at the head and the other at the foot.

Notice that the Foot stones only have the initials instead of full names.

I wonder if this headstone was placed there long after the death of little Herbert. How sad to lose two children while they were so young.
