Note: Over the last number of years this picture has been mistakenly identified as Rav Meir Shlomo Yanovsky, Chief Rabbi, Mykolaiv, Ukraine (d. 1933), father of Rebbetzin Chana. It has since been confirmed that the rabbi in the picture is Rav Shlomo Yanovsky (d. 1929) who lived on the Lower East Side and later in Tel Aviv where he is interred. Credit: M. Young, Tenafly, NJ

R’ Levi Yitzchok is not the father of the previous Lubavitcher Rebbe. The previous Lubavitcher Rebbe was R’ Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson. R’ Levi Yitzchok is the father of the last Lubavitcher Rebbe, R’ Menachem Mendel.
Corrected
The last photo is not Meir Shlomo Yanovsky. Its R Avraham Chaim Rosenbaum who was a Rov in NY and is buried in Mount Zion Cemetery in Queens.
