Biographical Note
Mark Solomons was recorded as the first permanent Jewish inhabitant of Sumter, South Carolina, settling in the area ca. 1815-1820. From that time forward, Sumter's Jewish community grew steadily. Land for a Jewish cemetery was purchased in 1874 and the Hebrew Cemetery Society formed. In 1881, the Society merged with the Hebrew Benevolent Society and in 1895 the Hebrew Benevolent Society joined with the Sumter Society of Israelites, continuing under the latter name.
