I would like a translation of the Hebrew.
I believe this to be a transcription of the inscription on the tombstone of Herz Schwarzschild.

Here is interred the dear man, the honored NAFTALI HIRTZ

Schvartzschild, may his memory be a blessing.

He passed away when he had completed 70 years, on the eve of the holy Sabbath,

24 Elul 5632

[This is followed by 7 lines of praise that are apparently missing some words]

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

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

If this person is important to you, and you'd like the lines of praise translated, let me know, and I'll do my best with the text that is there, although it is a bit fuzzy to read.

The double name of Naftali Hirtz (or Naftali Hersh or similar) is quite common. The symbol of the tribe of Naftali is a deer, and Hirsch/Hirtz/Hersh is Yiddish/German for deer.

The 24th of Elul, 5632, began at sunset on September 26th, 1872, and ended at sunset on the 27th. This was indeed the eve of the Sabbath.
