Translation of Hebrew epitaph:

Here lies the young man Abraham, son of the honorable Mr. Joseph Arnold, died Tuesday, and buried on Wednesday, 29 Elul [5]615


Additional information:

Son of Joseph Arnold and his wife, Theresa (Kaufmann), of Hagerstown. The family had immigrated from Jebenhausen, Germany, in 1849.

The headstone bears the marks of vandalism. The first word in the second line ought to be הבחור but is spelled phonetically according to the usual German-Jewish pronounciation of Hebrew.
