Headstone A-16

Row 5, Col 6

transcription

headstone

This inscription, and the one before (see Headstone No. A15) describe the tragic accident that caused these two young boys to die.

 

Here lies buried
A holy young boy
Who was plucked away while still in the spring of his life
For he drowned in the river
Abraham Isaac
The son of Lev
Zarnitzky
He departed on the 28th of Tamuz
In the year 5688 (1928)
May his soul be bound up in the bonds of life
