On 14 Feb 1910, Congregation Adath Emeth was chartered by the Texas Secretary of State as a domestic non-profit corporation. In the mid-1960s three small congregations, Adath Emeth, Beth Jacob and Adath Israel merged to form the United Orthodox Synagogue (UOS), which was incorporated on 17 Nov 1965 by the Texas Secretary of State as a domestic non-profit corporation. The UOS then assumed responsibility for the Adath Emeth Cemetery and Adath Israel Cemetery. Founders: Hertz Wilkenfeld, Ruben Dow, Rabbi Max Goodman The oldest gravemarker found is for Simon Weiner who died on 14 Apr 1919 and was buried about 40-days after the land for the cemetery was originally purchased. However, there is no Texas Death Certificate or obituary found for this death. The next early burial found is Morris Dow who died on 3 May 1920 and was buried the next day. Mr. Dow was a tailor and was born ca. 1862 in Russia.
