Photos and Text of the Jewish Cemetery of Luling,
by Robert
Abzug,
Flicker
"Jews had a small but cohesive community in the
railroad town of Luling beginning in the late 19th century,
but only the cemetery exists today, kept up by funds from the
families originally from this small town who now live in other
parts of the state and nation". See
