Judaism in Cooktown
in this secluded section are the graves of
several members of Cooktown's small Jewish
community. Among them are the prominent
merchant Solomon Marks (died 1875),
former mayor, Lewis Solomon (died 1926)
and his non-Jewish wife Esther (died 1941)

Strangely two Jewish burials are in the
Presbyterian section. Charles Liskov a
painter was buried on 15 April 1883 and
John Davis, a Commisions agent on
28 March 1897. Davis was mayor of
Cooktown 1882, 1886/87 and 1889/90.
Both graves are unmarked.
