There is a known story involving R’ Chaim Ozer. He was learning with a group of talmidim when someone came and asked R’ Chaim Ozer “Ken ich nemen a gerushah? (Can I take a divorced woman?). He thought for a minute or 2 and then answered “Mir Ken”. The man left and the talmidim yelled “Er iz a Kohen”! R’ Chaim Ozer answered, he was not asking if he can marry her. Based on his clothes I can tell he is a wagon driver and since he is a Kohen wanted to know if was able to give a ride on his wagon since she is a gerushah. The talmidim went out and saw the man loading the woman’s packages onto his wagon.
