NEW YORK, July 20 (UPI) -- A groundskeeper at a New York country club says the Long Island golfing site has been home to hundreds of engraved Jewish tombstones for decades.
The club maintenance worker, whose identity was not reported, said the tombstones can be found at the Woodmere Club golf course along the shore of the Reynolds Channel, the New York Post said Monday.
"I've been told that they've been here for 50 or 100 years," the groundskeeper said. "No one knows where they came from, but I think we inherited them."
Jeffrey Markinson, whose Silver Monument Works makes such Jewish gravestones, told the Post the tombstones could simply be discarded manufacturer pieces.
"I would like to think that this was extra granite," Markinson said.
The tombstones came into the public eye last week after a 38-year-old photographer Ahron Weiner found the items.
Woodmere Club general manager Donald Mollitor told the Post he would look into the discovery, saying he was previously unaware of the tombstones' existence.
