1899 and expanded in 1915.
"The railroad people in-
vited prominent families
from different states to visit
Charlevoix. They came from
Chicago, St. Louis, New
Orleans and Ohio with their
help and all their trunks."
Gilbert says that John E.
Simon and David May from
St. Louis were among the
first Jewish families to build
homes on Michigan Avenue
in Charlevoix. The May home
was built in 1917. Albert
Loeb from Chicago built the
Loeb Farms in 1918.
"My father-in-law, Sam
Gilbert, was one of the first
Jewish people from Detroit to
discover Charlevoix," Gilbert
says. "He heard about it from
friends in Kalamazoo and
went about 1910."
Edith Gilbert was a
Charlevoix resorter before
becoming a permanent resi-
dent in 1962. "Most small
towns had Jewish mer-
chants," she says. "Leven-
son's Dry Goods Store was in
Charlevoix."

In
Charlevoix grew in populari-
ty with Jews from Detroit,
Gilbert explains, "The first
few families came and
everyone brought their
brother, or cousin or friend. It
is a natural phenomenon that
people cling together. They
rented on Park and Michigan
Avenues because those were
the most desirable homes."
Many people think the
Chicago Club in Charlevoix
was started by Jews from
Chicago. But, says Gilbert,
"The Chicago Club was
founded by the First Con-
gregational Church in 1880.
Associations were organized
by resorters according to
religious denominations. The
Belvedere Club was founded
by Baptists in 1878 and the
Bay View Resort in Petoskey
was founded by Methodists in
1876."
Gilbert says the Jews did
not form an association. "The
associations still operate by
religious denominations,'
she says. When asked if Jews
were barred from the Chicago
Club or Belvedere Club,
Gilbert says, "Knowing their
purpose as religious associa-
tions, why would Jewish peo-
ple want to go there?"
Opinions differ on the issue
of anti-Semitism in
Charlevoix, but there was
one incident that everyone
remembers. "It was in 1945
or '46," Gilbert says. "The
realtors from Charlevoix put
ads in The Jewish News to at-
tract summer visitors. People
came up in hordes and crowd-
ed in rooming houses. There
