This may be the gravestone of my 2nd-great grandfather (Sorry for the challenging quality of the photo. Its all I have)

The caption on the website reads:
"Yehuda ben Menachem"
"Date of Death: 8 Shevat 5673 (1913-01-16)"

The name fits perfectly with "Lieb son of Mendel" but the date should be about 1933 based on other information.

Can you translate, and is it possible the date actually says '8693' rather than '8673'

(also the gravestone looks in rather good condition so it is conceivably a replacement and that an error was introduced on this gravestome itself)

Thank you !

6/12/2025 12:42 AM The photo is very low-resolution, and become pixelated when I zoom in.

Can you provide the link to the website that you mention?

The year is also quite eroded, particularly the 'tens' digit. I can tell you that the letter representing the number 70 (an Ayin) and the letter representing the number 90 (a Tzadi) have similarities, and can sometimes be confused for one another.
