Due north of the land above mentioned, and at present bounded by Hood, Corbett, Meade and Porter streets, was located, for the past thirty years, the old Hebrew cemetery. Originally the land belonged to the city, and was purchased by the Congregation Beth Israel more than a quarter of a century ago. This plat contains one acre and covers an area of about two blocks. Until within five or six years it was the Jewish burying ground and was the resting place for hundreds of bodies. Gradually, however, as the city spread, the cemetery was found to be too near, and some years ago a tract was bought by the Hebrew Society, enclosed and regularly laid out. bodies have since then been taken to the new grounds. Early last spring the city, by ordinance, provided for the removal of all the dead from the old enclosure. As in the first instance -- that of the North Portland cemetery -- the work of exhumation and reburial was done by contract, the city defraying all the necessary expenses. Over a month was required in which to accomplish the work. Every grave was opened and the bodies or crumbling dust, as the case might be, were carefully removed to the new plot and there tenderly committed to the silent bosom of earth. The old ground still belongs to the Congregation Beth Israel, and just what disposition will be made of the valuable property is now known at present. http://www.portlandct.org/Portland/history/historyt12.htm has history of the cemetery entitled "Portland's Jewish Cemetery" by Doris Sherrow, March 2000: [August 2005]
