The photos on this page show some (but not all) of the
graves in the Porozover Benevolent Society section
(Block 50, Gate 667/W)
of Old Montefiore Cemetery in
St. Albans, New York. They
were taken
in 2004 and made available for use on this site through
the generosity of
Madeline and Julian Goodstein. It should not be assumed that
all of those interred in this tract are necessarily
emigrants from Porozow. Some more recent burials in
particular do not appear to be Porozow-related, but it is
likely many of the older ones are. The earliest
marker shown dates to 1929.
The first
image shows the gate to the Porozover section and lists the
officers and trustees of the Porozover Benevolent
Association at the time the tract was established. They are,
as follows:
Y |
OFFICERS: Sam Lukas, Past President; Harry Ceminsky,
President; Abraham Kustin, Vice-President; Israel Koenig,
Secretary-Treasurer. |
Y |
TRUSTEES: Fannie Goldstein; Esther Koenig; Samuel Solomon;
Anna Ceminsky; Lowis Nevitsky; Max Freedman; Sarah Freedman;
Hyman
Shlossberg; Ida Shlossberg; Edward A. Goldstein; Brocha
Solomon; Samuel Kaplan; Lillian Kaplan; Morris Levinsky;
