This is the grave stone of my Great Great Grandmother.
But the inscription seems to be in German.
Can any one tell me what it says?

That's old German, google won't translate this. I have a Bible written in this and yes, I can read it but the words are too hard to make out on your photo.

looks like some of it says
Theresia Thole
gest. short for gestorben means died 20th February 1890
60 Jahre is years
sorry the rest has too much moss and is too small

My German is not as good as it used to be and I can't read the right side of the stone. It looks like the first three words of the first sentence are "Ruhe In Ehren" Rest in Honor. Then the first two words in the second sentence are "Beste Mutter" Best Mother.
Sorry, that's about as much as I can get.
