Here is a bit of history:

"This is an old family cemetery that was founded by a very early ancestor of MrDotOne, who came from an old Russian town located in Minsker Giberna - about 1 mile from the Denieper River and about 30 miles from Bobroisk (the nearest town on a Russian map). The streets were cobble stoned - trains came through; it had all types of shops, commerce - doctors - police - and government offices. It was an active city established in 1841 and called Schedrin. From 1841 to 1941 there existed in Buelo, Russia, the town of Schedrin. For 100 years it remained a Jewish community only to perish at the hands of Jewish exterminators in a Holocaust of terror and killing. Records indicate that in 1941, there were 380 Jewish families (about 1,400 inhabitants) in Schedrin - all of whom were killed by the special German killing squad on that fateful day.

Yosef Chiam Weiner had earlier arrived and brought a Torah with him from Schedrin. The first Minyun was started above a grocery store on Center Avenue, near Miller Street. From there they took a home on Robert Street, near Linton Avenue and the Shamis lived at the Shul, named Anshe Lubovitz. Yosef Chiam was president of the Shul when they felt the need of a burial place of their own. They got busy and found the present location. One year after the purchase, the first burial in 1911 was Yosef Chaim Weiner. The Anshe Lubovitz cemetery is located in the Millvale section of Pittsburgh."
