Sounds like he was a brother to the fanous Rabbi Yaakov Eskolsky

Reb Menachem Risikov mentions him as a cousin of his (She’er Besori) in his Sefer Shaari Shomayim

The Iskolsky family descends from Kobriner Chasidim and were close to the Slonimer and Lechovitcher Chasidim in USA.

The Rav was also the mashgiach (along with his brother) at the Palestine Kosher Vorst Factory. As a side, being that they produced both Kosher and non-Kosher meat a major (sadly public) battle erupted between the Agudas HaRabbanim and the Degel HaRabbanim (along with the Knesses HaRabbanim) in 1928 regarding the certification.

A nice biography on the Eskolsky Family including a Photo of Reb Ahron Eskolski.

There was a third brother Morim (Miram) Eskolsky named after the famous Kobriner Chasid Rav Mier Marim Schoffit Z”l the author of Sefer HaNir in Yerushalmi, and uncle of Rabbi Yudelowitz.
