Solomon Khasilev
This is the father of my grandmother on my father's side, Solomon Khasilev. The photo was taken in Odessa in 1904 in the studio of court photographer V. Chekhovskiy. I only knew my great-grandparents on my father's side, Solomon Khasilev and great-grandmother Khasileva, from photographs taken in Odessa in 1903. Judging from these photos they are from the same society circle as my great-grandparents Gauzner were. They lived in Kalyus, Podolsk province. It was there where my grandmother Sofia Gauzner, nee Khasileva, was born in 1883. She had an older brother, Yakov Khasilev, who lived a very long life. He died in Odessa in 1953. Unfortunately I don't know what he did for a living.
