95856 Translation - Tombstone

11/3/2021 12:18 PM KNOWN: In Washington Cemetery, Brooklyn, Gravestone of Mordechai Sprinzen, son of Avraham Yechiel Michal, died Feb. 27, 1910, aged 67.I believe the Hebrew word in the middle is "sofer," for scribe. (Other records show he was a "rabbi"and a "talmadmaker.") I would like to know what the Hebrew description says at the top, under "Peh Nun"and if I am missing anything else. The 2nd last line of Hebrew is very faint. I presume it is his Hebrew date of death in Adar? See next uploaded image, which is a negative of the image, which may help legibility. Thank you.

It took place in Posad Vyshkov on October 30 (November 12), 1901 at 11 am. Itsek-Yankel Bronstein (not clear), 43 years old, and Itssek-Faivel Tsimbal, a religious teacher, 39 years old, both residents of the Vyshkov settlement, appeared in person and announced that this date, at 5 a.m. in the Vyshkov settlement, he died Dzbanek Avezer, 2 years old, son of Srul-Gersh and Adasa, nee Boynos. I am truly certifying about the death of Aveser Dubanek. This act was read and signed by those present.
