Category: Translation - Tombstone Approval Date: 6/15/2025 1:41 PM Family Surname: Cohn Country: USA Town: Binghamton, NY Date of Image: 2025	Click the picture to enlarge	This is one side of a stone for Reuben I. COHN. This side is entirely in Hebrew, which I cannot read. The stone is unusual in that it is tall with a square cross-section. One side is not engraved, one side is so weathered that no engraving can be discerned. The final side tells me that Reuben Cohn was born in Russia and died 12 July 1894 in Binghamton. I have enhanced this image as best I could. Can any additional information be gleaned from it?
