23753 Do you recognize?

5/6/2026 4:18 PM Does this still exist? These two images are of the same gravestone located in Warsaw. The first was taken in 1927 of the grave of Chaya Leah Chrzan who died 12 Sep 1909. The second shows the same stone at a later date. I believe this photo may have been taken after World War II. I do not know by whom. How can I determine if it still exists and where? The Warsaw cemeteries have not been able to find this grave, but I am still hopeful it will turn up. The name CHRZAN has been spelled more than one way in Hebrew and elsewhere.

This is probably the death record of Shmuel Feigman .
I would appreciate a full translation, especially if there is mention of another city, age, full date and surviving relatives.
