This stone is a bit challenging to read.

If you can provide a direct link to the website, this might be helpful. Meanwhile, this is what I can make out:

Here lies

[I cannot make out the text in the first line]

RIVKAH daughter of __________

Yosef Bottenshtein

Wife of Mordechai Ziev

She passed away the 9th [?] of Kislev [?]
5671 [?]. May her soul be bound up in the bond of life.

=====================================================
Her father had a double name, the second part of which was Yosef. Depending upon how I look at it, I see different possibilities: Eizik, Yitzchak, Zalman, all of which might be wrong. Do you know his secular name? This MIGHT give me a clue.

The date is also not clear. If you tell me the secular date of death, I might be able to be more specific. If she died in the month of Kislev of the year 5671, this would be roughly December, 1910. If this is the correct year, and if I've read the 9th correctly, the secular date would be the 9th or 10th of December, 1910. However, I'm not sure that I have the correct Hebrew decade.
