There ia a grave marker on Find A Grave for Anna Jedlickova. I've used Google translate to figure out most of it, but need help figuring out what - L.P. - means in this context.

Here is what it LOOKS like it says to me


ZDE V PÁNu ODPOCIVA 

Anna Jedlickova

zemrela dne ho cervence 

L.P. 1896 

v stari 73 roky

odpocivex v pokoj

HERE IN THE LORD RESTS

Anna Jedlickova

she died on July

L.P. 1896

at the age of 73

rest in peace


Find A Grave, database and images (findagrave.com : accessed 9 April 2021), memorial 19291669 for Anna Jedlickova (1823-17 July 1896), St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery, Solon, Johnson County, Iowa; memorial maintained by Solon History Group (contributor 47381231), photo added 9 June 2007 by Tasha Jackson (contributor 47395612).

I've attached the photo from Find A Grave for the purposes of this discussion only. I have not asked for permission to use it outside of this discussion.

As an aside, I'd found a necrology in the Solon Economy which states that Mrs. Jedlicka died on 18 July 1896. Find A Grave has 17 July.

“Mrs. Annie Jedlicka,” necrology, Solon (Iowa) Economy, 21 December 1905, Thursday, page 3, column 1, line 7 under Volume 1, 1896, digital image, Advantage-Preservation.com (https://solon.advantage-preservation.com/viewer/?k=jedlicka&i=f&by=1905&bdd=1900&d=01011882-12312018&m=between&ord=k1&fn=solon_economy_usa_iowa_solon_19051221_english_3&df=1&dt=8&cid=2878 : accessed 9 April 2021); line 7 under Volume 1, 1896 states “July 18, Mrs. Annie Jedlicka, 73 yrs”.


But back to the question... what doe the L.P. stand for ? Thank you very much - Yvonne
