大正二年十二月十八亡
? Higashi-tomochi Village, Shimo-mashiki District, Kumamoto Prefecture
(present Misato Town, Shimo-mashiki District, Kumamoto Prefecture)
Died on December 18, 1913

The last two kanji in the right column is illegible, and I'm not confident with the death date.

It would be nice if you told us the story of what you're doing and why you're doing it.

thank you so much toritoribe! Mike, these are graves in the Laie Pioneer Memorial Cemetery. the people at the temple said they dont have any records for the cemetery so im trying to collect information for the few that still have headstones. these japanese markers are some of the few markers left.
