Enclosed, a newspaper clipping from 1935 announcing Rabbi Dessler's funeral. Rabbi Re'uven Dov Dessler (1863-1935, Otzar Ha-Rabbanim 17735), was among foremost of students of Rabbi Simkha Zissel Ziv, the "Grandfather of Kelm". Son-in-law of Rabbi Eliyahu Eliezer of Vilna who was son-in-law of Rabbi Yisrael of Salant; Rabbi Eliyahu Eliezer was also father-in-law of Rabbi Hayim Ozer Grodzansky of Vilna. Rabbi Re'uven Dov served as Rosh Yeshivah of Beit Ha-Talmud Torah in Kelm from the year 1918. In 1931 he moved to London, where he lived at the home of his only son Rabbi Eliyahu Eliezer, author of Mikhtav Me-Eliyahu.
