BETH EL CEMETERY
Compiled and contributed by David Donahue
This is a very well maintained Jewish cemetery on Linden Avenue at Winona Street. Because this is a Jewish cemetery, the presence of a Star of David on a marker is not noted (almost all have one). Several markers have long Hebrew inscriptions. This cemetery was recorded March 21, 1990 and checked September 27, 1997.
