About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Mt. Hope Settlement was founded near the ancient city of Jaffa (Yafa)in 1853 as a joint effort of American missionaries led by Clorinda S. Minor and German missionaries led by brothers Johann and Friedrich GrossSteinbeck. Their mission was to teach the Jews of Palestine agriculture to prepare for the Second Coming. They were joined by Walter Dickson and family of Groton, MA in 1854.

After the death of Clorinda Minor in 1855, the GrossSteinbeck brothers took over leadership of the settlement. After their marriages to the Dickson daughters they went by the name Steinbeck and renounced their Prussian citizenship.

In 1857 the settlement was abandoned after Friedrich Steinbeck was murdered, and the remaining members went back to America. German Templars took up residence at the ruins of Mt. Hope in the late 1860s.

The small missionary cemetery remained on Mt. Hope for many years. When the Shevat Mofet School was built on the old settlement in the 1940s, the gravestones were documented and then removed to an unknown location.

In 1966 American author John Steinbeck, grandson of Johann Steinbeck and Almira Dickson, visited the site.
