located relatively close to the old jewish section contained in the original , the plots designated as the "new" jewish section were acquired by the hebrew benevolent congregation in 1878 and 1892. the burial sites, and the headstones and monuments marking them, reflect the blending of the german-jewish culture of which the benevolent congregation was primarily comprised, and the american culture that the community had adopted. in contrast to this cultural blending are the resting places of members of the ahavath achim synagogue, to which the benevolent congregation sold some of the plots. members of the ahavath achim synagogue were mostly eastern european jewish immigrants who were much more orthodox. unlike the benevolent congregation, the synagogue sought to preserve their traditional culture and to avoid cultural blending. this is evident in the grave sites of members of the synagogue, which are identifiable by their use of the hebrew language and engravings of traditional jewish symbols. in more recent years, the new jewish section fell victim to vandalism by two teenaged locals in 1982.
