Other Notes:

[N3] The spelling וצניעה probably reflects the Hasidic pronunciation of וצנועה, the usual spelling of this word.
[N5[ The village of זראטאוויטץ could be Zrotowice [then Poland, now Zorotovychi, Ukraine], which lies some 15km NE of Dobromyl. Census data indicates that only a handful of Jews lived there. The deceased may have married and settled in Dobromyl or perhaps she was brought to Dobromyl for burial.
[N8] The date of death here is illegible; what remains of the letters does not allow for a reasonable guess beyond that the month was Tevet.

See About Dobromyl for an index to headstone locations in the Wall of Memory.
Stone is recorded as Grounded because it is fixed in the Wall of Memory.
