    1. [GENMASSACHUSETTS] Jewish Cemeteries (and Gloucester)
    2. Betty
    3. Hello, Yesterday we took a "Sunday drive" and went to Gloucester. On the way up "Rt. 128," I noticed a cemetery almost on the side of the highway. It was the supposed "entrance" to the Lebanon Cemetery, which I think is in Peabody. It must have been a cemetery which existed before "Rt. 128" was built. I just looked it up and found this site: http://www.jcam.org/Pages/Cemeteries_New/Cemetery_Pages_08/Northeast_listing.html http://www.jcam.org/Pages/Cemeteries_New/Cemetery_Pages_08/Peabody_Lowell_Canterbury.htm I just noticed that a Jewish Cemetery in Chelmsford is mentioned. I'm going to have to check this out. I'll take a guess that it is actually in Lowell. (There are several cemeteries in Lowell, which some think are in Chelmsford. And, vice versa. Reminder that Lowell annexed off of Chelmsford in 1826.) By the way, when we drive to Gloucester once or twice a year, I always notice that there seem to be many cemeteries and graveyards in the town. Has anyone ever made a list of them? We also stopped for a minute at the "Gloucester fisherman" and was reminded of all the names of the people who have been "lost at sea." Would a great many of the graves in Gloucester be for those "lost at sea?" Betty (near Lowell, MA) (Imagine having to go to the Lebanon Cemetery in Peabody, if you had to go to the entrance on the side of "Rt. 128.") (We had dinner at the new "Azorean Restaurant." We recommend it.)
