I just spoke with a Frank Aishiskin who lives in Detroit; he is Rabbi Aishiskin’s grandson. He is buried here:
Beth David Cemetery
9535 Van Dyke at St. Cyril
I was able to track it down through this website:

I will attempt to get a photo as well.
A gut yohr to all! Looking to meet all at the first Kevarim.com Weekend Getaway!
I a photo with the following description:
“Mr. Ussischkin [i.e., Ussishkin] with Vienese [?] Scroll & other ancient scrolls awaiting the arrival of Rabbi Ben Zion Meir Hai Uziel, for his enthronement as Chief Rabbi of the Separdic [i.e., Sephardic] Community”
Would this possibly be Rabbi Aishskin?
