In 1892, the Albuquerque B'nai B'rith lodge incorporated
the Jewish Cemetery Association and acquired two acres of land in what is now
the Fairview Cemetery. In 1902, Congregation Albert acquired that land which
has been the Congregation Albert Cemetery for more than one hundred years. The
"old" section of the cemetery, 1.5 of the 2 acres, has many upright tombstones
typical of Victorian times, as well as ground level markers in line with current
practice. Our cemetery is a memorial for much of the Albuquerque Jewish community,
and is a fount of information for historical and genealogical buffs."
