GEORGE FERDINAND LEIJSSIUS, in life being an engineer at several Sugar Mills (Tjandi Sidoarjo – Ramboen Pedan – Tangoelangin Porong – Koenir – Gempolkrep.)
The renovation of the grave can be noticed clearly. It states:
RUST. INVREDE
G.F. LEYSSIUS
OVERL. TGL. 4.12.64.
It should read correctly:
HIER RUST IN VREDE
G.F. LEIJSSIUS
OVERL. OP 4.12.64
Born at Jogja 8 dec 1887 and married to MARIE DOORTJE DUTRIEUX on 4 Jan 1912. He had a sister Marie Louise Leijssius and most probably his father was descending from the Dutch nobility family LEIJSSIUS from Jogja. His mother must have been a local Indonesian woman – most probably “bangsawan” from the Jogja Keraton.
Lots of family members LEIJSSIUS worked and lived in the sugar mills districts of Pasuruan, Kediri and Blitar, Mojokerto, Jogja and a few at Sumatra/Penang/Singapore.
Moge hij in vrede rusten
