As per the above Hesped, Rav Kriger’s father was the Rav on Showelon, Lita:
הרב ר׳ זלמן כעת אני מבקש מחילה בעדי ובעד כל הקהלה, ואם אביכם הרב הגאון אב״ד דעיר שאוולאן וזקנכם הגאון הצדיק ר׳ זלמן
ישאלו מה נשמע בעולם התחתון, ספרו להם מכל הצרות והתלאות,
אשר ישפכו דמם כמים, והם יהיו למליצים טובים בעד כלל ישראל
