El Cementerio Israelita de General Campos, Walter Moss, y Curbelo: Located 22 km past General Campos on Route 137, a dirt road and near a lake, the cemetery dates from the 1910s. When someone in Federal died, the body had to be transported 100 km for burial; therefore, Monastersky, a pioneer, donated the land for the two-hectare site. To enter, cross the bridge to a gate on the left. In the center of the entrance is a tile-roofed shade structure near the tool shed and the well. One hundred graves exist. The oldest are brick and tin-roofed. The cemetery has many bees and wasps (camoati.) [December 2003] |
