Left side:

Here lies

our dear mother

the crown of our family

A woman of valor, and G-d fearing

She did kindness and charity all of her days

The dear and modest woman

Mrs. ETEL daughter of

Reb Eliyahu the Cohen, may he rest in peace

She passed away 29 Cheshvan

5718

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

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

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

Her father was a Cohen, member of the priestly tribe that traces back, son to father, to Aaron, Moses' brother

The 29th of Cheshvan 5718 began at sunset on November 22nd, 1957, and ended at sunset on the 23rd.

By the way: if this is someone whose Jahrzeit (anniversary of the date of death) you would want to observe, it happens to be this week, from sunset on November 3rd, to sunset on November 4th.

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

right side:

Here lies

My dear husband and our dear father

The crown of our head

Generous of heart and dear in spirit

Doer of justice, and honest

The excellent scholar

Wise and learned in the Torah

Reb MOSHE BEN TZIYON son of Reb Shaul, may he rest in peace,

Passed away on the 15th day of Tevet 5717

At the age of 88 years

May his soul be bound up in the bond of life

----------------------------------------------------
Again, 'Reb' does not mean rabbi.

The second part of his Hebrew name appears as two separate words, Ben and Tziyon. It is more common to see this name as one word, Bentziyon, or hyphenated, Ben-Tziyon.

The 15th of Tevet, 5717, began at sunset on December 18th, 1956, and ended at sunset on the 19th.
