  1. there are (at least) two seforim named Shem Mishmuel. One is the more famous one by Rav Shmuel Bornshtein, son of the Avnei Nezer. He was nifter in Teves. The other Shem Mishmuel was R. Shmuel Salir, whose yartzeit is refered to here. Two different authors.

  2. Harav Shmuel Salir and Harav Shmuel Bornstein were two different people who wrote seforim entitled “Shem M’shmuel”.

    Harav Shmuel Salir, zt”l was a Rav in Lvov and he was nifter in 1797 on 3 Av.

    Harav Shmuel Bornstein zt”l of Sochatchov (1855-1927) was nifter on 24 Teves.
