Washington Cemetery (Brooklyn)

Washington Cemetery is an old, historical, predominantly Jewish burial ground in Mapleton, Brooklyn, New York, United States.
Washington Cemetery’s use as a Jewish burial-ground dates as early as 1857. Brooklyn cemeteries came into existence due to the Rural Cemetery Act of 1847, which allowed for the construction of commercial cemeteries outside the city limits. This part of Kings County was not yet incorporated into the City of Brooklyn, the legislation transformed large parcels of farm lands into cemeteries.〔(The Brooklyn Ink )〕
==Cemetery configuration==
Washington Cemetery is made up of five "gated cemeteries" that are separated by streets and avenues. Cemetery #1 is the original cemetery and the oldest. It is bordered by Ocean Parkway, Bay Parkway and McDonald Avenue.
The founder of Washington Cemetery, James Arlington Bennet, is buried there (as are his wife and son). Born in New York, James Arlington Bennet was proprietor and principal of the Arlington House, an educational institution on Long Island. He usually is remembered as Joseph Smith's first choice as Vice-Presidential running mate in the United States presidential election, 1844. His headstone reads: "Author of Bennett's Book Keeping & Other Works. Founder of Washington Cemetery."
