From the Hebrew:
Frm the community of Vabalnik
Shlomo son of Yudl Shv-l
Died of old age
Av 6 / 8 July 27 / 29

Died and was buried in Vabalnik in the Jewish cemetery [litrally: "the cemetery of the Hebrews"

[Comments:]
I'm not sure of the vowel in the last name.

We can safely assume the numbers refer to day of death and day of burial.

The text on the next part of the page is a summary the of the deaths in Vabalnik in July.
