My cousins Barry and Claire Cohon translated the Hebrew on his headstone as follows:
The engraving on the headstone is actually Hebrew, and some of it is abbreviated. The two letters at the top stand for "Here Lies", then comes the name "Do'Ber" (I believe this is shortened from Dov Ber: Dov is Hebrew for "bear" and the Yiddish equivalent is Ber, frequently Berl, that was probably the name he was called, and became Barnett in english) "son of Yehuda Leyb German, died on Shmini Atzeres" (the holiday that comes at the end of Succos or Tabernacles festival in the fall) in the year "5683" (coresponding to 1922) and the five letters at the bottom stand for "May his soul be bound in the scroll of life."
