Beth Jacob Cemetery: also called Keheleth Jacob Anshe Drohiczen. Names were listed on web 5/98 as they wish to remove the bodies and build something on the grounds. Local children (?) wrecked the cemetery. Some of the headstones have since been moved to a newly constructed fenced-in area for protection. The bodies are still out in an empty field. At the current time, a developer picked up the property on a tax sale (On the death of the president of the cemetery association, nobody filed for a tax exemption so it went back on the tax role).
