Hello -- I would appreciate a translation of the Hebrew. These are at Montefiore Cemetery in Queens, New York City.

The footstone is of Alexander (Sandor) Laszlo (with his and his wife Johanna's headstone for reference, but it doesn't have Johanna's name).

I am particularly interested in the Hebrew words and names on Alexander Laszlo's footstone.

He was born in Pcim, Poland in 1874 and moved to Budapest, where he and Johanna (Hani) married and had three children. Sandor emigrated to the US in 1906 and Johanna and children came in 1907. He died in 1957, and Johanna died in 1958.

The headstone is of their daughter Alice Alpers (nee Laszlo), which is in the plot adjacent to Alexander and Johanna.

I believe Alexander was brother or half-brother of my great grandfather, Samuel Luftglass, but changed his name in Budapest, so I'm trying to get any details on their parents.

Thank you!

SARAH daughter of Shmuel Yeshayahu

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

Shmuel Yeshayah translate to Samuel Isaiah.

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

Alexander:

Here lies Shmuel Shaya son of Reb Moshe Aharon. May his soul be bound up in the bond of life.

----------------------------------------------

Shaya is a nickname for Yeshayahu. 'Reb' is an honorific; it does not mean rabbi. Moshe Aharon translate to Moses Aaron.
