Other Notes:

[N6-7] The 'eve of' is not the 'evening of' Rosh Hashana, Jewish New Year. It is the day before the holiday, 29th Elul.
[N9] There is another gravestone for a Sara Leventhal [see S05A], her surname here is inscribed with an additional ה that does not affect the pronunciation.

See About Dobromyl for an index to headstone locations in the Wall of Memory.
