Notes
Group Six: Difficult to Identify
Group Four: Died before Sept 1914
"שבע ימים"


From these new photos, we see that after Menachem, the next line gives what may have been a family name or possibly the name of the place Menachem had come from.
Does it say טאנאלי  ז"ל?
Does it say  מאנאלי ז"ל?



As to the given name Jona, and based on other men in the death register, it is likely he was registered under the name Jonas.


He was "an old man, full of days", so looking at the death register ( 1914-1938), it is a theoretical possibility that he is mentioned as the father of the deceased, Here are two possibilities:
Jonas Singer whose daughter Perla, married  Bogner, was born in 1873 and died in 1925.
Jonas Lempel, whose daughter Rachel, married Lempel, was born in 1890 and died in 1930.
But the name/place after Menachem is neither Singer nor Lempel.
