Jones Cemetery — Local services in Portland

Beautiful, small, hilltop cemetery established in 1854 by Mr. Jones - Who is also buried there — which is both really neat & also kind of sad.

There are gravestones from the mid-1800's up until present day. Many seem to be for members of the Jewish community; each one is covered with small, pretty (& I assume, special) rocks. I've wanted to google the reason why they're left there since I first visited...

A pleasant, tidy cemetery tucked away between a church and a neighborhood. Brick walkways wind through trees and resting places. Memorial rocks reveal an abundance of visitors....
