I hadn't seen this photo before! Thank you so much!

It's hard to tell from the one photo I've seen, but I bet he's one of the men in a suit in the front. Morris, aka Moishe Rosinsky, was one of the founders and president for seventeen years. He and one other man bought the land for the cemetery and then donated it to the Pliskover Association.

Here is his obituary: https://imgur.com/a/SGXaFzh

My great-grandfather was his son Nathan. He died before I was born but Anna or Hannah (I only knew her as Bubby) was his wife.
