An acrostic poem spelling the name of the deceased Mirel daughter
of Yechezkel
Here will rest.
From the Efraty family. A young woman beloved and important,
the crown glory of her sons, tender and pleasant with a strong heart,
left to the sighs of her orphaned sons, a daughter of generous people
with a rich soul and a righteous heart, honest and upright in her ways,
was charitable and supported the poor, all who knew her will remember
her righteousness and her purity, her sons will weep and cry for her
for she was taken at the middle of her lifetime, her soul rose to the heaven
of heavens, the important woman Mirle daughter
of our teacher Yechezkel May he rest in peace.
From the city of Biecz? Died 18 Adar 5685 [14 March 1925]
