In June of 2013 I had the pleasure of visiting Ukraine and Labun (now Yurovshchina;
once called Lubin in Yiddish), my paternal grandparents' community. We were able to visit the old Jewish cemetery, which I
discussed in an earlier post. Over the next several Tuesdays I will post photos and
translations (as I am able to decipher) of tombstones from that
cemetery. Most do not feature surnames.

Shmuel
son of Khaim [last word unknown]
Kaplan
May his soul be bound in everlasting life
Not the clearest photo, I'll admit. And I am actually amazed what one can determine when one closely studies inscriptions. There was no date discernible on this one but the full name is nice.
