Other Notes:

[N2] The phrase 'full of days' ─ i.e. contented/satisfied.
[N4] Berish is a variant of Ber. Dov [Hebrew] and Ber [Yiddish] are synonymous names for the English 'bear'.
[N5] The father's name is undecipherable. It is followed by the month in which he died ─ Sh'vat; the rest of the date is also undecipherable.
