Pine Bluff, 1907: “Grandma is feeling very well today, Mamma has been sick in bed for two weeks but is up now.” The card shows the Anshe Emeth Synagogue at West Second and Poplar Avenue. Chartered in 1867, the growing Jewish population built the new Synagogue in 1902. As the Jewish population dwindled, the Synagogue hosted its final service in 2016. Today the building is home to True Vine Missionary Baptist Church.
