History:Workmen’s Circle is yet another Jewish fraternal organization that organized in this area. The group’s ideologies tended toward Socialism; their purpose was to extend such benefits as insurance, health care, old-age assistance, and separate cemetery privileges to its members. The site of the cemetery is shared with that of the Farband cemetery, with the Workmen’s Circle portion located toward the back.
