To whom it may concern:
I would deeply appreciate a translation of the Hebrew inscription from this head stone. I know the quality of the Hebrew inscription is poor. Any help that can be given would be deeply appreciated.

Sincerely,
Harold Ginn

4/21/2024 3:20 PM Reb Naftali son of Reb Yehoshua

He passed away 5 Kislev 5735

May his soul be bound up in the bond of life.

‘Reb’ is an honorific; it does not mean rabbi.

Naftali is a Biblical name; he was one of the twelve sons of the patriarch Jacob, and the head of the tribe that bore his name.

Yehoshua is also Biblical, and is Hebrew for Joshua
