Chevra Kaddisha Cemetery (English: Holy Society), later known as Home of Peace Cemetery, was the first Jewish cemetery in California founded on November 12, 1850, by the Sacramento City Hebrew Association, and was once located at 33rd at K Streets (present-day 3230 J Street) in the East Sacramento neighborhood of Sacramento, California.
[5][6] Moses Hyman, a merchant from New Orleans that settled in Sacramento in 1849, had donated to the Jewish Benevolent Society for the establishment of the cemetery.
[4] Hyman had made the journey from New Orleans to California with Samuel Harris Goldstein, a merchant who settled in Marysville and accidentally died on May 30, 1850, when he fell overboard on a boat.
[4] In 1924, part of the cemetery land was sold, and they started reinterring graves.
[4][8] The majority were moved to Home of Peace Jewish Cemetery (at 6200 Stockton Blvd.)
