Left side:

A modest woman,

pleasant in her deeds

FAYEH daughter of Reb Gershon the Levite

[she passed away] 23 Tamuz 5741

May her soul be bound up in the bond of life.
--------------------------------------------------
'Reb' is an honorific; it does not mean rabbi.

The 23rd of Tamuz, 5741, began at sunset on July 24th, 1981, and ended at sunset on the 25th.
=================================================

Right side:

Here lies

My dear husband and our dear father

AVRAHAM YOSEF son of Reb Nachman

Poling

He passed away 23 Menachem Av 5708

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

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

The month "Menachem Av" also has a shorter name: "Av".

The 23rd of Menachem Av, 5708, began at sunset on August 27th, 1948, and ended at sunset on the 28th.
