Could someone translate any of this tombstone? I know the photo is poor quality, but if any of it is readable I'd appreciate it.

As you say, this stone is a bit challenging to read.

On the first line, I see the words for 'mourning' and 'sorrow'; presumably, it and the next three lines are a poem of mourning.

He had a two-part Hebrew name, the first of which is hard to read. This is my best educated guess:

YEHOASH ZALMAN son of Reb Shaul

Bloomgarden

He was plucked in the prime of the days of his youth

27 [?] Iyar 5671. May his soul be bound up in the bond of life.

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

The first part of his name -- if I have read it correctly -- would be pronounced yeh-HOE-ahsh. His father's name is pronounced SHAH-ool.

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

The 27th of Iyar 5671 began at sunset on May 24th, 1911, and ended at sunset on the 25th. Please note that I am not sure if it is actually the 27th. The month of Iyar of the year 5671 ran from approximately April 28th, 1911, to May 27th.

One word stand out to me in the top line: האברך -- this usually refers to a young man, studying in a yeshiva, and in the first few years of his marriage.
