 3: The cross by the wayside “Weier”Johannes Wilhelmus Weier was a carter and lived at Wesselsteinbach. One day on his way home he evidently missed a rest at the well thinking that he would be back soon. But on the climb home from Bergisch Gladbach he overtaxed himself and it is at this very spot that death carried him away. His family placed this cross by the wayside in his memory. The hardly legible inscription goes as follows: On April, 8th 1823 the well respected Johannes Wilhelmus Weier from Wesselsteinbach died a sudden death from pulmonary oedema. Oh Lord, grant him heavenly peace. He was 69 years of age. |
