Other Notes:
[N1] Text illegible, only some of the letter-bases are visible.
[N2-3] The phrase 'full of days' ─ i.e. contented/satisfied.
[N3] The biblical expression 'he was gathered unto his people' or similar, is a euphemistic expression for 'died'. [N4] 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.
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.
