Just wanted to thank everyone with the help on the translation. I think Becky had the closest translation as << Hier Ruhen in Gott Die Durch Morderhand Dem Tode Uberlieferten Eheleute Bonacker >> Here rests in God through murder of the hand in untraditional death husband and wife Bonacker I found out that the couple (Bonacker) were both ax murdered by the wife's jilted boyfriend. Thank again! Dave Dave Hallemann Sleuth@cat2.com
