   where does it say that he was the Rav of Anshei Luavitch?

   I assume he’s buried in that section.

   From 1922 Rabbi Dachowitz was the Rabbi of that shul.

   This was my grandfather, the father of my mother, Libby Rubin (a wise and fantastic character, aleha coll shalom), the youngest of eight, born in April of 1914. My mother always told me that her father died when she was a year and a half, which would put his death in 1915 (I visited the grave some years ago and will again when I can; am wondering where the 1914 date came from); at any rate, I and various other grandchildren of the rabbi (we are getting up in years, of course–I am the youngest of this generation, 62) would be very grateful to anyone for any stories, legends, information or anything else regarding our grandfather, a devoutly compassionate and scholarly Tzadik of his generation, as we understand it–but we have only shreds of stories left. My mother always said that (as she was told, by her mother the rebettzin, who lived until 1942) “all of Brownsville” crowded the streets at his funeral procession, and that there was an article in the paper. What paper? I tried to find it decades ago, but looked in unlikely places then.—–Anyway, my family and I am grateful for this site, thank you, and anything that anyone knows, any connections, would be greatly appreciated. (Maybe ten years ago I did read the two anecdotes on Rabbi Menachim Mendel, one of which I just saw elsewhere, in the Lubavitscher history–but only one of them was actually about him: it was someone kind of interviewing the rebettzin, years later, and only a paragraph or so.)
