This handmade memorial board was photographed in the Tree of Life Congregation synagogue in Oil City, Pa. and is believed to have originally belonged to Congregation B'nai Gemilus Chesed in Titusville, Pa. The board includes names associated with the Jewish communities in Kane, New Bethlehem, Oil City, and Titusville. The plaque was photographed by Rauh Jewish Archives director Eric Lidji in September 2018. The plaque was removed from the synagogue sometime before the congregation closed in 2020. Plaques transcribed by Rauh Jewish Archives volunteer Kathy Holter. For more information about the Jewish community of Titusville, please visit https://rauhjewisharchives.org/entry/titusville/
