The Jewish Independent was an English-language weekly
newspaper published in Cleveland from 1906 to 1964.
Maurice Weidenthal, of the Plain Dealer, became its editor a few weeks
after it was established.
When he died in 1917, he was succeeded by his brother, Leo, who managed the paper for nearly 50 years.
This database is mainly composed of extracts of vital information from obituaries.
Pre 1906 information mostly comes from the Jewish Review & Observer, another weekly, which began publication in 1899. Post 1964 information was extracted from The Cleveland Jewish News.
This database covers about 1898-1982. It evolved as it grew - therefore not every single entry coincides with an obituary.
