Hebrew inscription:
Here is buried
the young man Dovid
son of Zelig Feldman
born in the year 5639 [this is an error]
and died on 14 Av 5675 [should be 19 Av]
Greenwood, Miss.
English inscription:
DAVID FELDMAN
Born Apr. 1894 [this is an error]
Russia
Died
July 25, 1915 [should be July 30]
Greenwood, Miss.
The birth date given on the tombstone is April 1894 but he was apparently about 10 years older. The date Jan. 8, 1884 is from his naturalization records. The death date on the tombstone (July 25) is also wrong; estate records received from the Leflore County Chancery Court show the correct death date as July 30, 1915.
