Harvard Cemetery
5903 Harvard Avenue at East 62nd Street
Heights Jewish Center, (ph. 216 371-2244). No office.
Also known as the "Old Russian Cemetery" or Ohavu Amunah Cemetery, the
cemetery was established around 1891. This cemetery backs up to Lansing
Cemetery. (Not to be confused with city-owned Harvard Grove Cemetery
on Lansing Ave, about a quarter mile away.)
With over 800 burials, the cemetery has been vandalized more than once
recently. Heights Jewish Center Synagogue (216-382-1958) has a card
file of burials. Some stones are illegible.
