Enumerating the Cemetery

Enumerating the Cemetery
In the summer of 1988, members of the Cleveland Jewish Genealogical Society, visited Fir Street Cemetery and undertook an effort to determine the names and other vital information of the people buried there. The photo above, which appeared in the September 23, 1988 edition of the Cleveland Jewish News, shows one member of the Society mapping out graves in the cemetery. The article noted that, in 1965, Park Synagogue, the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland, and Heights Jewish Center had agreed to jointly administer and care for the cemetery grounds. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Digital Newspaper Collection
