LIST OF HEADSTONES

Please note that after decades of neglect and occassional acts of vandalism, the present-day location of headstones may no longer indicate the location of the gravesites these headstones were meant to mark.

All extant stones are numbered on the backside. Stones numbered 1-1 to 1-38 are found in the "Anne Marder Memorial Garden" (1). This part of the cemetery is an arrangement of stones and fragments that were found on the burial ground during restauration works but could not be attributed to known gravesites. Stones numbered 2-1 to 2-25 are found in the front row (2), stones numbered 3-1 to 3-32 are found in the back row (3). Please refer to the map for  a first orientation.

In the early years gravesites were marked by headstones only. During the 1850's additional footstones became common. The gravesites of Lydia Kahnweiler and of Fannie Arnold still show the original arrangement of headstones and footstones. This list contains headstones only.
