The Jewish Cemetery in Verkhnyaya Bystra

During my August 2003 visit to the Jewish cemetery in Vishni Bystra (currently Verkhnyaya Bystra), I took pictures of many tombstones that were legible since I don't read Hebrew. Thanks to my cousins Irit Shani and Miriam Kelder for trying to interpret my photos.  More information about the cemetery is available through the Jewish cemetery project.  

The following are names on some of the tombstones that they were able to make out.

Taba, daughter of Issac
Braina daughter of Samuel
Israel Tzvi the Righteous Rabbi
Miss Hinda 29 years old
Pinchas
Yehuel
Yehuda Haim Ben Aaron
Esther Rivka
