Leslie Caplan chants “El Maleh Rahamim” at the service. An immigrant from Germany who settled in St. Louis, Jacob Weinthal died in 1917 and was cremated. Earlier this year, a distant relative who lives near Boston started a search for Weinthal’s remains. With the help of a few St. Louisans, the remains were recently located at Valhalla Cemetery in North County. Photo: Mike Sherwin
