| Cemetery Description: |
This cemetery was established in 1882. Access is best gained by going through the Maplewood cemetery entrance on Kent Street just off Morehead Avenue. The Hebrew Cemetery has an older section and a newer section. Most of the tombstones in both sections contain Hebrew script. There are over 360 graves in the cemetery.
Information furnished by Gladys Siegal in March 1996 on some of the more recent burials. Complete survey of the cemetery and pictures provided by Allen Dew in February 2004. Some inscription translations and additional information furnished by Rita J. Traub of Atlanta GA. Most of the translations were done by Gilda Kurtzman of Petach Tikva, Israel during September 2004. Some of the really difficult translations were done by Meir Romem of Jerusalem, Israel.
