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.

a beloved youth, YOSEF

son of Yisrael

Bi___________nyeh [?]

He passed away 8 [?] Kislev

56__
=======================================
I'm afraid that I cannot make out the year. Kislev is a winter month, ~ December.

The family name is a very long one. It most likely begins with a B or a V sound. The ending could be ...nyeh or ...nie or something quite different, such as _________arinitz.

If these details seem to match someone in your records, let me know as much as you can, and I might be able to tease out more details.
