Colonel Jacobus Warnerus Constantinus van Gorkum of the Dutch Cavalry-Lady Josephina Carlina Petronela Hubertina van Aefferden
Roermond Kapel in ‘t Zand Cemetery in Limburg, Netherlands.
They married in 1842, when Josephina was 22 and the colonel 33. He was a Protestant and not part of the nobility.
In the 38th year of their marriage, the colonel died in 1880 and was buried on the Protestant part of the cemetery against the wall.
His wife died in 1888 and had decided not to be buried in the family tomb but on the other side of the wall, the closest she could get to her husband. Two clasped hands connect the graves across the wall. According to a local blogger, this caused quite a commotion in Roermond.

Scene 2: A cemetery: in the background, a Protestant church whose stained glass windows are visible. On the left, a small door that leads into the interior of the church. On the right, a gate that overlooks a crossroads
Under the leadership of Marcel, Protestant women take refuge with their children in the church. It is there that Raoul finds his old servant, who, resigned, prepares to die. Valentine arrives and tells Raoul that his life will be saved if he agrees to wear a white scarf around his arm, indicating that he is Catholic. She also informs the young man that she is now free, Nevers having been killed after having defended Protestants. Raoul seems to hesitate but finally refuses Valentine’s proposal to pass as Catholic. She immediately decides to share the fate of the one she loves by abjuring the Catholic faith.
