Founded in 1872, Jones Cemetery is located at Southwest Hewett Boulevard and Scholls Ferry Road in the Sylvan area. Jones Cemetery includes Havurah Shalom.

Jones cemetery was established by Mr. Nathan B. Jones, the original owner. He buried his father there in 1854 and donated the land for free burial to ensure his father's grave. He had his own headstone erected prior to his death, which was by a brutal assault. In 1986, a number of gravesites were purchased by the congregation Havurah Shalom for special use.

Metro's pioneer cemeteries not only offer a unique look into the past, but are managed as active facilities. Public inquiries concerning gravesite selection and other services are welcome. Metro maintains burial records for use by family historians and genealogical researchers. To locate a gravesite, you can search the records online or contact pioneer cemetery staff.
