A TOMBSTONE of 1917

This tombstone originating in 1917, marks the original common grave of two young friends.

They were sent to Hadera by their families, to hold on to the land, as early as 1893. Both died six years later, within one week, in a hospital in Jaffa ,where they were buried .

In World War I, during the Turkish expulsion of the Jewish population of southern Palestine, the friends’ remains were transferred by their younger brothers to a proper burial in Hadera.

The words “…the lovely and pleasant in their lives and in their death they were not divided”. [Samuel II,1:23] are engraved on the tombstone.
