Unfortunately I don't speak French, nor read it. But I think I can give you a rough translation [excuse me for garbling this up, but I'm an armchair linguist at best!].

Translation:
Here lies the body of
Ettiene Banet
spouse of
Francoise Bidaine
From Arcey
Douhs, France
Born 17 January 1795
Died 18 Apr 1871
aged 76 years

Ettiene is buried at


St. Mary of the Knobs
Floyds Knobs, Floyd, Indiana.

Ettiene is my 3x-great grandfather, named for his father, also Ettiene.
