פ'ה בעמק הבכה
נ'ם ענג ורווחה
ח'בל באבדן בעלי
ס'ומך ביתד אהלי
ב'ין רפאים ישכון
נ'שמת איש נבון
י'קר ה'מדות ו'כל
ד'רכיו א'מת ה"ר
פנחס בן יהודא
Here in the weeping valley
Ended pleaure and welfare
It's a pity for the loss of my husband
Supporter of my tent's peg
Will settle among the ghosts
A wise man's soul
Of esteemed ethics and all
his aways are truthful
R. Pinkas ben Yehuda

while still but a [young] bud
The crown on our heads our mother dear
the modest, the pleasant
and the most dear, the lady
Raade Gittel daughter of Moshe

Cemetery overview. The focal point is the grave of Yosef Kotler, above. None of the others are legible

The cemetery  is right against a road. The rightmost stone is that of Raade-Gittel Kaslovsky (above). There is not enough resolution to read the other stones in this picture.
