Notes: It should be noted that Acacia, Bayside and Mokom Sholom are three independent cemeteries and while Acacia and Mokom Sholom are under the same management umbrella, Bayside is independently owned and operated. The cemeteries run along Pitkin and Liberty Avenues from 80th Street to 84th Street. Access to Bayside is from Pitkin Avenue only. Although in a constant state of cleanup, Bayside is in extreme disarray and can be dangerous, use caution when visiting!!! Actual care is provided by Cong Shaare Zeedk on the Upper West Side, they claim that all records were lost in a fire.
Directions to Kever: Although in a constant state of cleanup, Bayside Cemetery along Pitkin Avenue in Queens is in extreme disarray and can be dangerous, use caution when visiting!!! In the event of an emergency call 911. Location: Gate: 32

The full Hebrew name is שלמה זלמן בן יוסף
The Hebrew date looks rather like כ”ז ניסן תרע”ה or תרע”ח definitely not תרע”ז which is what the english 1917 translates to, but April 19 1917 was indeed כ”ז ניסן So I guess the engraver made a mistake
ציון לנפש הרב
שלמה נהי’ כשה פזורה
זעק יזעקו בני עדתו
לגבר הוקם על בתורתו
מי יורנו דרך ישרה
נשארנו יתומים אמנו אלמנה
בן ששים ושבע שנה
יצא רוחו שמי מעונה
וגוו שב לעפרו הנה
סוף הימים יחיהו תמים
פאר יכהן בבית עולמים
נפטר כ”ז ניסן שנת תרע”ז

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)
