   Mark,
   I found the article through Google (in the NYT archives) it uis from August 2, 1922 and mentiones that 100 automobiles escorted the rabbi to the Gemilath Chesed synaggogue on Cannon St.

   How many of the seven sons mentioned on R’ Yechezkel Shrage’s tumbstone, lived here in the US post war?

   I remember R’ Ahron a bit. He was quite bright and had an acerbic sense of humor. Very witty.
