There is no family name on this gravestone, but if you read the  explanation under next grave, Grave 17, you will see why I have written KÖNIG .

Thanks to the help of one of the descendants, I could now add  these photos of Jakob Josef KÖNIG's grave. The relative wrote: " It was very moving for us all to read the inscription; it was everything we had heard about him--a learned Chosid, the mohel of the city, who lived to what was considered an old age in those years (86 years old). "

A MOHEL is the person who does the ritual circumcision, BRIT MILA.

Using Jewish Records Indexing -Poland  I discovered that Jakob Josef and Mala's daughter Czysia Sosia had married Elias Moses SCHLAGER, a merchant in Jaworow. She lived in Jaworow when she gave birth to her son Ozyasz SCHLAGER in 1910.
