Adath Jeshurun Cemetery, 2926 Preston Highway, corner of Preston Hwy and Locust Lane, Louisville, KY, (502) 458-5359

"Herman Landau (note there is no "r" at end) wrote "Adath Louisville: The Story of a Jewish Community," which was published in 1981. Much of his research collections are housed at the University of Louisville Archives. The Herman Landau Papers and an interview of a Jacob Landau by Zera Lipetz are also part of the U of L Archives collections. Landau is pronounced Lan-dow and I wonder if Landauer isn't a variant spelling.  You may want to check what is available about the Jewish communities in Louisville in the U of L archives by going to:   http://www.louisville.edu/library/uarc, The Louisville Free Public Library (Main) has a clipping file pertaining to Jewish families at http://www.lfpl.org.  There are also manuscripts and other materials relating to Jewish families in the Louisville area at The Filson Historical Society - http://www.filsonhistorical.org." -  info extracted at mailing list from posting by Deborah Campisano. Herman Meyer & Son has an extensive database of all Jewish burials in Louisville since 1910 and will do free lookups. This database is limited to Louisville, Kentucky only. All inquires will be answered via e-mail. Send requests to genealogy@meyerfuneral.com.

The name Adath Jeshurun means "Congregation of the Upright."

The following listing was done by Alan Murray (AM), but it is not a complete listing.  His webpages are here at Jefferson County, Kentucky Cemeteries.  Additional listings have been added by your coordinator from the book, "Wilderness Road Cemeteries in Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia", by Robert Foster Johnson, for the West-Central Kentucky Family Research Association.  If you have additional information about this cemetery or it's inhabitants, please email your county  coordinator (CC).  An (H) in the notes stands for Hebrew writing on the stone that was not included.

The cemetery is located at the corner of Preston Highway and Locust Lane.
