History
Moses Hyman, a merchant from New Orleans that settled in Sacramento in 1849, had donated to the Jewish Benevolent Society for the establishment of the cemetery.[4] Hyman had made the journey from New Orleans to California with Samuel Harris Goldstein, a merchant who settled in Marysville and accidentally died on May 30, 1850, when he fell overboard on a boat.[4] It is believed that Goldstein was the first person buried at the cemetery.[4] The cemetery was owned by Congregation B'nai Israel of Sacramento.[7] Some 500 burials occurred at this site.[4] It was located across the street to the former New Helvetia Cemetery, the first cemetery in the city.[4]
In 1924, part of the cemetery land was sold, and they started reinterring graves.[4][8] The majority were moved to Home of Peace Jewish Cemetery (at 6200 Stockton Blvd.) in Sacramento, as well as some were moved to the Jewish cemeteries in Colma, California.[4][9] The last portion of the cemetery land was sold in 1945.[4]
