This half-acre cemetery, dedicated on January 1, 1851, was known then as "The Champlain Street Cemetery of Temple Beth El" because Lafayette was called Champlain Street formerly.. The first interment was in autumn 1851, and in 1854 Samuel Marcus, the first rabbi of Beth El, was buried here. The cemetery, containing many graves of Jewish war veterans, was in active use until the 1950's."

Source: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Hebrew Memorial was formed at the turn of the century as a immigrant self-help organization for mutual aid such as free loans, burials, etc. They also purchased property in Mt. Clemens as a cemetery. At that time, the site was far out in the country in an area familiar to Jews. Mt. Clemens was famous for their 'baths', probably a vein of sulfur water. Today, the area merely is more urban sprawl. The cemetery is large enough that, from the inside, you lose sight of the ugliness nearby. Hebrew Memorial burial society has a chapel in Oak Park, MI and their own cemetery in Mt. Clemens.
