Hi Sheryl,
Was Rabbi Yosef Dov (JB) Hurwitz of St. Paul related to Rabbi Isaac from Hartford?
I saw on Geni that there were strictly religous nephews from Reb Yitzchok Simcha Hurewitz, particulary through huis brother Shmiel Mier , was he a rabbi as well?

From the brother’s kever it would seem he was also a Rabbi: http://kevarim.com/rabbi-shmuel-meir-horowitz/.
