Las Vegas New Mexico is what I know of. Probably more if you ask around.

Yes, thank you. That’s the Montefiore Cemetary, established by the Jewish community of Las Vegas in the mid/late 19th century. One of the earliest west of the Mississippi. When you mentioned that I was thinking of random graves in remote cemetaries, which probably exist. . Amongst the other early ones, Hills of Eternity in CA where Wyatt Earp is buried. And a strange one to me, first old Jewish Cemetary I’d seen in the west, down a trail from the Boothill graveyard in Tombstone. Now restored. Thanks.

Since we're on cemetaries which is more pleasant than the article, the only Jewish military cemetery outside Israel, in Richmond, VA.

Thus far no insistence to remove references to the Confederacy or flags, but I'm sure it's coming.
