Willard Fisher, an early Sarpy County farmer, buried his three children on his farm after an epidemic in 1883. His grave and those of his children were later joined by several Jewish congregations. [1]
Fisher Farm Cemetery was established by the Congregation Share Zion in 1901. In 1909, the deed was transferred to Chevra B'nai Yisroel. In 1915, the deed was transferred again to the B'nai Abrahm Society of South Omaha. [2] Eventually, Hrabik, Beth Hamedrosh Hagadol and Bnai Abraham cemeteries would join Fisher Farm Cemetery.
The cemetery is still active, and is nearly full.
The older section of the cemetery is segregated by gender and age. In one row, adult males are buried side by side down in order of death, while in the next row, adult females are buried in a similar fashion. There are also separate rows designated for children. This arrangement makes it difficult to determine which individuals were married to each other, as spouses are buried in separate rows.
In the new section, couples and families are usually buried together. Another interesting feature is that most of the graves have raised concrete borders and the enclosed area contains ground cover. Most of the more recent markers have Hebrew and English inscriptions, but many of the oldest ones have only Hebrew inscriptions. Some have had English inscriptions added later to the original Hebrew ones. [2]
The history of Jews in Ohio dates back to 1817, when Joseph Jonas, a pioneer, came from England and made his home in Cincinnati. He drew after him a number of English Jews, who held Orthodox-style divine service for the first time in Ohio in 1819, and, as the community grew, organized themselves in 1824 into the first Jewish congregation of the Ohio Valley, the B'ne Israel. This English immigration was followed in the next two decades by the coming of German immigrants who, in contrast, were mostly Reform Jews. A Bavarian, Simson Thorman, settled in 1837 in Cleveland, then a considerable town, which thus became the second place in the state where Jews settled. Thorman was soon followed by countrymen of his, who in 1839 organized themselves into a congregation called the Israelitish Society. The same decade saw an influx of German Jews into Cincinnati, and these in 1841 founded the Bene Yeshurun congregation. To these two communities the Jewish history of Ohio was confined for the first half of the 19th century. In 1850 Ohio had six congregations: four in Cincinnati and two in Cleveland.
