It should be 龙海市角美镇石美村。
I know that 角美 is 美 bue but what about 石美。

Hello Ong,

What do you mean? Are you referring to the village of origin. According to the family 石美 is Tjiok Moy (Eastern gate), a village close to Zhangzhou in Fujian.

By the way, I have placed yet another picture on

http://home.planet.nl/~lie00120/temp.htm

I guess this is the grave of a brother of the previous diseased, as they originate from the same village and their sons both have the name 長 -Tiang

This one was very difficult for me to transcribe, as I have no reference. I think the names of the sons and grandsons were predetermined, but they were never actually born (would also explain why no woman is mentioned)

This is what I could come up by myself:

石美
民國六年仲秋置
顯考諱?泰黃?君之佳城
男長????孫???????信仝立

regards,
Elmer

The village is under zhangzhou longhai city.
We have web pages about Indonesian coming from this village.
They should mention kak bue instead of 石美

澄邑 means 海澄 but some places are under xiamen now.I don't think this is the same with 角美 unless 角美 is under haicheng
