Here lies the important bridegroom the honorable Mr. Yehudah [Judah] Leib son of our 
teacher the rabbi Yitzchak [Yitschak, Icchok] HaLevi May his light shine, died on the first day of Shavuot 5654 [6 Nisan-12 April 1894]
 
The day of his death was dark and gloomy,  
Woe to us that we heard of his death,
tears poured from our eyes for our crisis
because our crown glory was taken from us,
a young son he was when he left,
many will praise his good deeds, studied 
the Torah and his righteousness will speak for him, 
died and went to his resting place,  
his soul rose close to his wedding day

They will cry and wail for the death of a God-fearing Torah scholar
 …. a devoted righteous who was engaged in the Lord’s work and
observed the Torah’s laws all of his life, his kindness will speak for
his soul, was a cantor in our town for thirty years, recommended and 
prayed for his community in the synagogue with a purpose, his soul will 
be praised in the heavens and the Lord will provide his proper resting
place… [the remainder is illegible]
