In his youth, he served in the guard, retired at the beginning of 1797, left for his village and since then he did not leave there. He was married to a poor noblewoman who died in childbirth, while he was in a departure field. Economic exercises soon comforted him. He built a house according to his own plan, started a cloth factory at his place, tripled the income and began to honor himself with the smartest person in all the nearby, which the neighbors who came to him to visit him with their families and dogs did not rejuvenly.
