yet another tomb

[elmer]

Hello, once again I invite you to have a look at:

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

I could translate myself:

石美
大清旹光緒三拾三年丁未孟春之月吉置
顯考處士號? 川黃君壽域
顯妣孺人諱?? 韓氏壽域
孝男明學章典文女益滿幸孫德盛厚?潤德興輝泰昌合仝立石

Next to the question marks, I am uncertain of the character 壽 in 2nd and 3rd column. Can anyone help me.

Thanks,
Elmer

hello Eric,

Thank you. Your help is great like always. I have 4 more tombs and then I will be completely out of material. Although most of the tombs contain little more than formal expressions, it is interesting what you can learn out of it.

Once more I have placed a picture on http://home.planet.nl/~lie00120/temp.htm

I can read myself:
石美
民國九年陽厯十月十四?旦
顯考諱長溪黃君之佳城
顯妣名顯娘鄭孺人壽域
男明智睿女玉安意娘孫子充光先九?

In the 2nd line I have trouble translating the characters 陽厯
Am I correct that the date is the 9th year of the republic china, the 10th month, the 14th day?
Also, I am not entirlely sure about the name of the eldest grandson (子九?)

regards and thanks in advance,
Elmer

You're welcome =)

石美
民國九年陽曆十月十四卒旦
顯考諱長溪黃府君之佳城
顯妣名顯娘鄭孺人之壽域

男
明睿 明智

女
安娘 玉意

孫
子元 子先 子光 子充


陽曆 (solar calendar) = the Gregorian calendar, as opposed to the lunar (lunisolar) calendar

So 民國九年陽曆十月十四 is "The 9th year of the Republic (1920), October 14"

卒旦, 卒 means death, 旦 means date

子元, the 元 was written with the second and third strokes joined together

once more, thanks again. Two more questions about this stone. What is the final character (the one beneath the names of the grandsons). And how do you think the generation name of the grandsons is pronounced. Would it be Tso or Tse?

regards,
Elmer
