Bio Notes:
Congregation B’nai Israel was organized in Centerville during 1892 by a Jewish community composed largely of families that had emigrated from Russia. The building was constructed during 1894 — obviously without the cross. The primary reminders of its origin are the stained glass windows, which then as now, are centered upon the Star, or Shield, of David.
