SHEBOYGAN: Sheboygan County

ShtetLink [October 2000]

  • Hebrew Cemetery: Click for information on the town and cemetery. Just outside of Sheboygan, on the east side of County Trunk Y in Kohler, WI and south of Highway O. Run by the Chevra Kadisha of Congregation Beth El, 1007 North Avenue, Sheboygan, WI. (414-351-5055). The first burial appears to be 1902. Penny Deshur walked through the cemetery and read each tombstone. In a few cases, the stones were written totally in Hebrew so she was unable to determine who was buried there. In other cases, the tombstones were too badly worn to read. Also, several mausoleums had no names on them. Sources: Penny Deshur: This email address is being protected from spambots.
