History/Provenance

Lincolnwood is located just to the northwest of Chicago. The New Light Society (known as Chevra Or Chodash) was established in 1895 to provide burial places for the Jewish members of the New light Society and their immediate families, The Society was dissolved in 1926 by the Illinois Secretary of State for the failure to file annual reports, and was transformed into the New Light Cemetery Association. In 1895 the area was unpopulated, with no paved roads. Now the cemetery is amid a settled residential and business community.
