Today’s tombstone, in the Bosdrift cemetery in Hilversum, is selected for the beautiful relief. According to the text on the relief, it is depicting the epitaph Matthew 11:26: “Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest“.
The grave stone consists of four parts: The relief itself, a headstone below the relief for Albertus Hendrik van der Weerd and his wife Sophia Elisabeth Maria Deterding, and two flat stones, one for Hendrik Jan van Simmeren van der Weerd and his wife (presumably) Catharina Elisabeth Johanna Dikkers, and one for Meta Johanna Kühn, wife of an unidentified Van der Weerd.
On Genlias I discovered that Hendrik Jan married (as Hendrik Jan van der Weerd) Adolphine Alberta Deterding (a daughter of Royal Dutch Petroleum Company founder and Royal Dutch/Shell chairman Henri Wilhelm August Deterding) in 1916, changed his name in 1917, divorced in 1926, and married again (now as Hendrik Jan van Simmeren van der Weerd) in 1928, to May Elizabeth Rance. His third marriage is probably too recent to be listed.
Hendrik Jan was a son of Albertus Hendrik van der Weerd and Sophia Elisabeth Maria Deterding, the couple mentioned on the headstone.
