      “….In the middle of the Cemetery, close to the mound, is a very rare Jewish example of a bust of a woman: Miriam, wife of Moses Levy, identified as Miriam Levey (sic) 1801-1856 a welfare worker who opened the first soup kitchens in the East End. Her tomb is in the form of a square obelisk with four faces, decorated with figurative reliefs”

      From the Hebrew Inscription: 'The tombstone of a pleasant woman; beloved of her husband and of her children too [alt. and a jewel to her children]; departed her home to the deep distress of the husband of her youth and all her family; she is Miriam bat Mr. Yekutiel, the wife of Mr. Moshe bar Eliezer; passed away on Monday 2nd Kislev and buried on Wednesday the 4th inst.; and her husband ,descendants and all her family will deeply mourn for; and "the days of her life" [Proverbs 31:12 the chapter which starts "A woman of worth who can find..." and is recited traditionally on Shabbat evening] were fifty five years.'
