The record — long form
Beth Elohim is the second — the '1772' that's the founding's year, the 'oldest in state' that's the rank's claim. The '10%' is the counted — the 'white population' that's the share's size, the '5 mayors' that's the service's proof. The 'Cohen greeted' is the welcomed — the 'Washington' that's the president's name, the '1791' that's the visit's year.
The 'homes worshipped' is the waited — the '1904' that's the temple's date, the '132 years' that's the gap's length. The 'Confederate graves' is the mixed — the 'soldiers' that's the war's dead, the 'same soil' that's the community's ground. Beth Elohim is the kept — the '200 stones' that's the count's size, the 'still used' that's the cemetery's life.
The file keeps Beth Elohim: the second oldest, the counted share, the welcomed president, and the kept graves.
