HEBREW CEMETERY

Directions to this cemetery: From north end of Muscatine at the intersection of Highways 38 and 61, go south on Bypass 61 to Lucas Street. Turn left onto Lucas Street. Go straight, through a 4-way stop and stay right at a fork in the road at the gas station. Just keep going and you will see it on the right hand side of the street. This cemetery is part of Greenwood Cemetery which is a very large cemetery.

This cemetery database was submitted December 29, 2002 by Eleanor B. McCleary, with permission from Greenwood Cemetery. Dave Dunston converted this database over to html so it could be put online. Eleanor stumbled across this cemetery while looking for a plat map for B'Nai Moses Jewish Cemetery. The land is next to the Greenwood Cemetery. Thank you, Eleanor, for finding this cemetery and sending me the database to put online. First is an introduction about the cemetery, next is the burial list. Good luck in finding your ancestors!
