C. The Old Jewish Cemeteries at Charleston, S. C. A Transcript of the Inscriptions on Their Tombstones, 1762—1903. With an Introduction and Full Index by Dr. BARNETT A. ELZAS, Rabbi of K. K. Beth Elohim, CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, 1903. CHARLESTON, S. C. THE DAGGETT PRINTING COMPANY Printers and Book Makers, 1903. EDITION 250 COPIES. INTRODUCTION. The value of tombstone records for the purposes of the historian is not yet fully appreciated. Some day, when it is too late, we shall awake to a sense of our neglect. Apart from its intrinsic value, the following record is printed in the hope that others may be led to do likewise. There are three old cemeteries in Charleston whose origin antedates the nineteenth century, though most of their tombs are modern. These old cemeteries contain many inscriptions of great historical interest and which throw a valuable side-light upon the early history of the Jews in America. Time has borne heavily on many of these stones, many of their inscriptions being decipherable only with the greatest difficulty. This is due, to some extent, to the old custom of having flat slabs. Several of them I have literally unearthed and many are no longer in existence. I have thought it well for the sake of completeness to include all three cemeteries in this volume, and I have added such historical data as will make the record complete. The oldest cemetery at Coming Street is laid out in rows more or less regular. The inscriptions are copied in order and the location of the tombstones is therefore quite easy. I have not followed the inscriptions line for line, for that would have necessitated a much larger volume and, while adding perhaps to its appearance, would not have enhanced its value. My object has been to preserve the record and not to perpetuate the eccentricities of old-time tomb-stones. I would only add that I have several times compared my transcripts with the originals. I can assure the reader of the absolute accuracy of each and every one of them. The cemetery at Coming Street is the oldest Jewish cemetery in South Carolina. It was originally purchased by Isaac Da Costa, the first Hazan of Beth Elohim, for a private burying place for his own family. "Finding that it would be a convenient place for the Burial Ground of the Jews' Congregation in general," he, "out of regard for the said congregation, became willing and desirous, and did afterwards intend that the same should be conveyed in trust to the congregation." Carrying out his original intention, Isaac Da Costa, conveyed this burial ground in 1764, for a consideration of seventy pounds lawful money of the province, in trust to certain trustees "for a place of burial for the use of the Jews residing in Charles Town or elsewhere within the Province of South Carolina, who do and shall conform to the Jewish rites and ceremonies in general, and who do and shall conform to and observe the rules, orders and regulations of the Jews congregation in Charles Town named Beth Eloim." The following are the trustees mentioned in the deed: Joshua Hart, Immanuel Cortissos, Joseph Da Costa and Samuel Da Costa, of Charles Town, and members of the Jews congregation in Charles Town known by the name of Beth Eloim. Benjamin Mendes Da Costa, Joseph Salvador, Esq., Solomon Da Costa, Moses Franco and Joshua Mendes Da Costa, of the city of London, and members of the Portuguese Jews congregation in the said city known by the name of Sahar Ashamaim. Jacob Lopes Torres, Isaac Mendes Furtado, Benjamin Dias Fernandes, Isaac Henriquez and Abraham Aguilar, of the Island of Jamaica, and members of the Jews congregation in King's Town in the said Island, known by the name of Sahar Ashamaim. Isaac Piza, Benjamin Messias, David Castello, David Lindo and Isaac Pinheiro, of the Island of Barbadoes, and members of the Jews congregation in Bridge Town in said Island, by the name of Nidhe Israel. Jacob Franks, Daniel Gomes, Benjamin Gomes, Isaac Mendes Seixas and Heyman Levy, of the city of New York, and members of the Jews congregation in that city known by the name of Scherit Israel. Moses Lopes, Moses Levy, Naphtali Hart. Jacob Rods. Rivera and Aaron Lopes, of New Port, Rhode Island, and members of the Jews congregation in the said Island known by the name of Yeshuat Israel. Benjamin Sheftal, Mordecai Sheftal, Minis Minis, Isaac De Lyon and Levy Sheftal, of the Town of Savannah in the Province of Georgia, and members of the Jews congregation in the said Town of Savannah, known by the name of Mikve Israel. The deed is recorded in the office of Mesne Conveyance, Vol. C 3, p. 108 sq. The Coming Street Cemetery. This Stone is Erected to the Memory of ALEXANDER SOLOMONS, A native of Poland, who, after spending a life prolonged beyond the allotted portion of man, in acts of piety and goodness, closed this mortal career on the 7th July, 1836, aged 80. "The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon him in truth." _____________________________________________ Sacred to the Memory of MRS. BELLA A. COHEN, Consort of Barnet A. Cohen, who departed this life at King Creek, S. C, on the 16th October, 1836 aged 44 years. This stone was erected by affectionate children to mark the spot where repose the remains of a beloved parent who was honored in life, and mourned in death. "Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised." _____________________________________________ Sacred to the Memory of CECILIA SOLOMONS, Consort of Alexander Solomons, who departed this life on the 25th August, 1839, aged 74. How delightful is the contemplation of the virtues of the departed! And well can we indulge this feeling on reviewing the life of the revered being whose remains here repose. She was the virtuous woman, "whose price is above rubies, and whose children rise up and call her blessed," for the precepts of God were in her heart and were made the rule of her conduct through life. Her survivors can truly exclaim in the words of Holy Writ: "Let me die the death of the righteous and may my last end be like hers." _____________________________________________ Here Repose the Remains of BARNET A. COHEN, A native of Bristol, England, who died at King Creek, S. C, on the 23rd March, 1839, in the 70th. year of his age. To commemorate the virtues of a beloved parent, and as a memorial of their love and veneration, this stone has been erected by his affectionate children. "Blessed be he whose God is the Lord; behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy." _____________________________________________ TABLET.
