On July 8th, 1882, the Hebrew Assc.
of Mexico, MO obtained a small parcel
of land (about 100' X 300') from Mr
and Mrs Joseph Rodhouse. This cemetery
was likely the only Jewish cemetery in
several counties, other than Columbia,
MO. As the Jewish population of Mexico
and surrounding areas declined, bodies
of loved ones were exhumed and re-
interred in other areas. About 100 years
after the beginning of this cemetery and
years of abandonment and neglect, Ralph
Bierman of Moberly, Mo began a restoration
project for this cemetery in the 1980's..
Tombstones that were readable were Berg,
Cohn, Lowenstein, Phillip, Taylor and Victor
families. Re-interred in other places were
Barth and Morris.
