    Notes:

    This grave stands almost by itself in the middle of the cemetery. No name can be found on it, but there is a monogram at the intersection of the two branches of the cross made of the letters P and E. No doubt, this is the grave of Joseph Pelsy and his wife Madeleine Esch (her parents are buried a few meters away). Joseph, who died in 1933, was the last person to be buried in the cemetery.
    Ever since, and until very recently, this place of remembrance was pretty well abandoned, for some unknown reason.

    Heartfelt thanks to the Rhodes municipality and in particular to Jean Luc Rondot, the mayor, for wanting to restore this place. Thanks to all of those who committed to support the Association for the rehabilitation of this cemetery. Cimetière Anabaptiste-Mennonite de Rhodes - Moselle
