Not too sure about the quote in the bottom but

John Tattun
Pant Glas
who died in 9 1873
63 years old
Also Sarah his wife
She who died July ? 1887 aged 72 years

Pant Glas is probably the name of their home

The mods suggest you put Welsh translation on here

... but Pinot may have done it already for you !



It seems to be a Bible quote, but I can't find it ... only similar ones, not the same ...

Hello Lorrae

I don't speak welsh but I looked in my little Welsh to English dictionary for a possible match to the last word.
I think the last word might be ELW which my dictionary says means (profit) and that could translate to (benefit).

I hope this helps.

Last word "Elw" = gain.

"Christ is alive for me, and death is my gain."

I took the "HYD" before "9 1873" to be short for "HYDREF" (October")?
