If anybody is able to photograph the headstone of Benjamin FLETCHER (see details below) who is buried in the Bloemfontein Memorial Cemetery Jewish section, I would be most grateful if they could email me the photo.
Best,

There are a couple of hundred photos of tombstones in the Jewish section of the Bloemfontein Memoriam cemetery at
https://jewishphotolibrary.smugmug.com/AFRICA/AFRICASouth/SOUTHAFRICA/FreeState/ZABloemfonteinOldJewCemetery/ but I don't know if the set of photos is exhaustive in covering all the graves. This web site also has photos of other Jewish cemeteries, synagogues and other institutions, organised geographically. Photos of tombstones in various other Jewish cemeteries are on the web site of the Genealogical Society of SA, also organised geographically by cemetery and alphabetically within each cemetery. Photos of tombstones in Cape Town Jewish cemeteries are accessible at the cemetery maintenance board web site. Bramie Lenhoff Newark, DE, USA

Just to respond regarding the website https://jewishphotolibrary.smugmug.com and to clarify its contents.
It's certainly an interesting site, but it does not at all cover all the graves in any cemetery. Anyone wanting to use it for genealogical purposes should also note that it's an artist's depiction of Jewish cemeteries, and many of the photographs are merely artistic arrangements, not close-ups of the information on the headstones.
