On
April 1, 1840 in Cleveland, Ohio seventeen Jewish
men, nearly all from Bavaria and here less
than a year, signed a petition that asked City
Council for a Jewish
section of the city cemetery. The petition
was in the archives of City
Council and unknown until found on August 1, 2017.
Hidden from view for 177 years, the petition
has never been reported in print!
This page of names
may help
some of the signers' descendants learn that an ancestor
supported his community this way.

persons,
