Other Notes:

[N1] The text pattern elsewhere in this cemetery would seem to indicate that Avraham was the name of the father of a now-unidentifiable deceased.
[N2] 'First' probably refers to the first of the two Adar months in a Jewish leap year and 5698 was indeed such a year. The day of the month is absent. The year 5698 appears as תרח'ץ [600+8+90] rather than the usual hundreds/tens/units format תרצ'ח [600+90+8], because the latter spells the Hebrew word for 'murder' or 'kill'. תרצ'ח was therefore often avoided on gravestones that year, throughout the Jewish world, for fear of 'the evil eye' עין הרע.
