Here lies
A dear woman of valor, a homemaker
Mrs. Freida Racha daughter of Eliezer
died on day 3 (Tuesday) the 19th, and interred on day 4 (Wednesday) in the month of Sivan, 5686
May her soul be bound up in the bond of life (Acronym)

For whatever reason the JOWBR entry is not for this stone.

[This is the stone of a woman, not of Moses Mamolen]

================================================

Here lies

the dear woman, a woman of valor, a homemaker,

Mrs. FRAYDA RACHA daughter of Reb Eliezer

She passed away on the third day of the week, the 19th day of the month of Sivan, and was buried

on the fourth day of the week, in the year 5686

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

-------------------------------------------

Frayda is a Yiddish name that means joy.

Racha [with the ch as in Chanukah or Bach] is also a Yiddish name. There are differing opinions as to its origin or meaning.

'Reb' is an honorific; it does not mean rabbi.

Eliezer [eh-lee-EH-zer] is a Biblical name.

Note that dates on the Jewish calendar begin at sunset of the day before (for example, the third day of the Jewish week runs from sunset on Monday to sunset on Tuesday).

The 19th of Sivan, 5686, began at sunset on Monday, May 31st, 1926, and ended at sunset on Tuesday June 1st.
