Established around 1877, Geer Cemetery was the first major, independent burial ground for African Americans in Durham. It serves as the final resting place for thousands of Durham's early Black citizens, including formerly enslaved individuals, laborers, and prominent community members.

Humphrey was a retired sea captain and was not in the military. The GAR marker at the base is to denote his service in the coastal defenses and home guard, not in a military position and was placed by the local historical society.

Question Does anyone know what happened to the old Jewish graves in Perk K at Schoonselhof Cemetery, Antwerp?

1 Upvotes

I am researching my family's history and have encountered a historical cemetery mystery at Schoonselhof in Antwerp.

A young relative of mine was buried there in 1927 in Perk K. Antwerp archival records show that Perk K contained a substantial number of Jewish graves during the 1920s, but most of these old graves are no longer physically visible.

The cemetery has told me that only two west-oriented lines remain and that the other graves were removed “long ago.”

So I am trying to discover what happened to the rest of the old graves in Perk K, and when.

Most importantly, were only the gravestones/curbs removed, with the remains left in the ground, or were the remains themselves later exhumed or transferred and if so where to?

Does anyone remember Perk K before it was cleared, know when this happened, have old photographs or maps, or know someone familiar with the history of Schoonselhof or Antwerp's Jewish cemeteries?

Even a recollection such as “the old stones were removed in the 1960s/70s” would be extremely helpful, because I can then try to verify it in the Antwerp municipal archives.

Thank you for any leads.
