I have a series of photos of gravestones I took when I traveled to Kopaihorod in the early 1990s. Please excuse the amateur quality of them. On some I am aware that only part of the inscription is visible. Please translate the Hebrew and or Russian as appropriate. Many thanks.

Here lies

A respected woman,

Mrs. BRACHA daughter of Reb

Moshe, she passed away 14 [?] Adar [?]

5676. May her soul be bound up

in the bond of life.
------------------------------------------
Bracha is a Hebrew name that means 'a blessing'.

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

Moshe is Moses.

I'm afraid that I cannot be sure of my reading of the month or date. The year is definitely 5676, which corresponds to approximately September 1915 to September 1916. I see 1916 at the top, which confirms this.

If someone else can read the Russian at the top, please let me know the date, and I might be able to use it in order to figure out the religious date.

If the date is the 14th of Av, the corresponding secular date would be August 12th/13th, 1916.

(I would suggest submitting this image to ViewMate again, this time giving the category as "translation-Russian.")
