- Description
- The Albany Hebrew Cemetery, now known as the Waverly Jewish Cemetery, is located northeast of downtown Albany, Oregon, and occupies approximately two acres within the larger Waverly Memorial Park Masonic cemetery. When founded, it was the only Jewish cemetery between Portland and San Francisco. The earliest grave within the cemetery is dated 1877, and belongs to the daughter of the Isaac and Bertha Senders, an early merchant family in Albany. By the 1880s, Albany had the largest Jewish population in Oregon outside Portland. By 1924, however, the congregation recognized that its numbers were declining and came to an agreement with the Masons to take over and care for the cemetery. The Waverly Jewish Cemetery remains an active burial ground today, the only Jewish cemetery between Portland and Eugene.
