In German, Herzog=duke and Herzogtum (no "h")=duchy. In this context,
Herzogthum probably means province (Province of Bukovina Lodge).

Subject: Herzogthum, Bukowina

I have learned that a possible relative is buried in the Herzogthum
Bukowinaer Lodge plot at Mt. Hebron Cemetery in Queens, New York.

The man's grandson contends his grandfather came from Czernowitz, but I
have
been unable to find any trace of the surname, Jaackimovitz, Jachimowitz,
or
Joachim to have existed there in the 19th century.

Can anyone tell me where Herzogthum is / was ? According to the JGS New
York's website, it is a location, and the burial plot is a
landsmanshaftn
plot. JewishGen's ShtetlSeeker yields not even one possible hit.

Many thanks,
