here is grave of beyla daughter of (rabbi) nisan

Here lies Bayleh daughter of Reb Nisan.

-----------------------------------
Bayleh is a Yiddish name.

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

Nisan is both the name of a Hebrew month and a man's name.
============================================
Jack:

Here lies Yaakov son of Reb Naftali

--------------------------------------
Yaakov [YAH-ah-cover] is Hebrew for Jacob

Again, 'Reb' is not a rabbi.

Naftali was the name of one of the Patriarch Jacob's sons, and also the name of one of the 12 tribes of Israel.
