Here's another request, for those kind enough to translate a marker. Please see http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=10367706&PIpi=64660387 Click on the photo to get a closeup. I know about the standard abbreviation in the circle at the very top, and the line just above his English name; it's the Hebrew in between that I'm curious about. (This is a relative of my gg-grandfather, who I suspect must have passed on while in transit from California (where his daughter lived) home to NY -- the CA branch of the family had been in Sacramento from the early 1840's onward.) thanks ------------------------------- Randall Davis

I would say the second row says Yizhak ben Shimon (Isaac son of Simeon) although there could be an extra syllable between the m and n (mem, ayin, vav, final nun). Above it mentions Ellul, the month in which presumably he died.
