Rabbi Greenwald was a prominent rav in Columbus, Ohio, from 1924-1955. He battled assimilation, and fought for the perpetuation of Orthodox, Halachic standards during those tough years. He wrote over 40 seforim, many of which are available on Hebrewbooks.org. Any student of Halacha probably can appreciate his contribution, most notably, to the laws of Aveilus (lo oleinu), with his sefer “Kol Bo al Aveilus.”

Any relations to the Chust/Tzelim family?
It looks like to be part of a larger headstone, what does the full marker look like.

Do you mean the Chuster Rav? If so, I know Rav Greenwald’s grandfather was the Chuster Rav (as related to me by Rav Greenwald’s son.) He was also a distant cousin of the Arugas Habosem.

TY. You mentioned hi son – is he still around?
Do you have a pic of the Rav?
Was there/is there a big community?

He has a son Jack who lives in Denver, perhaps Baruch has his contact info.

Yes, his son Jack resides in Denver. He is an attorney. I don’t have a picture; however, in the back of one of his seforim (titled “Hashochet V’Hashechita-available at Hebrewbooks) there is a short biography of Rabbi Greenwald, which includes a picture.

I’ve located another picture of Harav Greenwald. It is from the Ohio Jewish Chronicle, from the week he died (1955).
