The full Hebrew name is ืฉืืื ืืืื ืื ืืืกืฃ
The Hebrew date looks rather like ื”ื ื ืืกื ืชืจืข”ื or ืชืจืข”ื definitely not ืชืจืข”ื which is what the english 1917 translates to, but April 19 1917 was indeed ื”ื ื ืืกื So I guess the engraver made a mistake

Solomon Cohen
Died April 19 1917
Aged 67 Years
May his soul rest in peace
Also I believe the credit to the photo is miss-typed, and should instead read: Jewish “Morgen”, or “Morning” (as its Yiddish & English names, respectively)
This may be my great great grandfather. Can you translate the grave stone to English?
Do you know anything about this man?
My cousin Miriam Burton submitted a possible family link, Rabbi Solomon Zalman Cohen may be my great grandfather through son Morris and daughter-in-law Ruth Leah (Lena) Miller who were married in 1901 in NYC. I was always told my great grandfather was a respected rabbi/leader in NYC and one of the founders of a large synagogue in NYC. I’m currently working with Ancestry.com on building the family tree…Cohen/Singer Family Tree. The dates on the tombstone seem to jibe. Also, the NYC historical census information seems to make sense, although no reference to being a rabbi…many also had parallel occupations. Any help from your organization would be helpful. On grandfather Morris’ tombstone in Tifereth Israel Cemetery Duluth,Arnold Township, Minnesota it states…Moshe ben Rov Shlomo Tzve….
