Max L. Mandel

Tombstone Inscription translation:

The abbreviation for "here lies buried" is in the center, so applies to both. Max: "Here lies buried our dear father Mr. Menachem son of Mr. Yisroel Yitzchak, died 15 Nisan 5679." The symbol with the G in the center is Masonic, it means that he was a member of a Masonic lodge. There were many Jewish Masons at that time. For Leah, "Here lies our dear mother Mrs. Leah Rochel, daughter of Mr. Ephraim, died 19 Sivan 5683. The five letters above "our beloved parents" are the abbreviation for "May his/her soul be bound in the bond of life."
