| Cemetery Description: |
Beth Israel Cemetery, Area 1 Right section, 232 Fuller Street, Everett, MA, USA. 544 burials total.
Beth Israel on JOWBR is divided into 5 geographical areas for the purpose of documenting this cemetery’s multiple areas and lots which no longer display all of the original signage. Upon entering the Everett Jewish Cemeteries gates off of Fuller Street, Beth Israel Cemetery 'Area 1 Right' [Lot #1] is the first area on the right when entering the main gate onto Memorial Way. Row numbers in this set of records are counted from the main cemetery vehicle access way. Original row letters are also included. They can be found in this area as 3-inch metal letters embedded in the center of the Cemetery's main sidewalk, but may be difficult to spot. There is a Genizah on the grounds of this first area. Beth Israel is independently owned and managed by the Beth Israel Corporation established by founder Solomon Slotnick after the initial 1919 purchase of over 50 acres of land for the establishment of Jewish cemeteries easily accessible to Boston. Lots were made available for resale to the many Synagogues, Societies and Landsmanschaften in the Boston area. The properties are serviced by The Fuller Service Company, and further information can be found at http://everettjewishcemeteries.com/. This set of data, photographs, transcription and translation provided by Pauline Shapiro Flanagan, a great granddaughter to immigrants from Krakenava and Anyksciai Lithuania who settled in Chelsea in the early 1900s.
