Morning Oregonian. (Portland, Or.) May 24, 1901, Z.Swett who is interested in the estate of S.Chaimov, a bankrupt, by Isaac Swett, his attorney, yesterday filed objections in the US Court to granting to Chaimov a discharge from his debts. He alleges that Chaimov subscribed to a false oath in swearing to the statement of his real and personal estate, by omitting therefrom his interest, in the estate of Froim Chaimovitch, also his interest in the Air-Tight Stove Manufacturing Company. It is alleged that Chaimov swore that he received only 150 rubles from the Chaimovitch estate, when the fact is that he received 200 rubles and had a further interest of 1300 rubles; and he owns nearly all the stock in the stove manufacturing company, although he swore that Henry Adler was the chief owner and he owned but a small share. The names Chaimov and Chaimovitch will not be familiar to many, and they, as well as the rubles, smack of Russia or Russian Poland, or some country where the telegraph tolls are 10 kopecks a word and the lines are down all the time.

Born 31 July 1873 first appeared as Chaimov in Portland, Multnomah, Oregon, USA in 1895. Rumored to have been second son of a merchant; another rumor was that his father was a Rabbi. Scholem Chaimowitz immigrated to USA sailing from Bremen on ship Dania in 1891 aged 18 from Russia via Bremen, occupation worker, a worker, a general name for worker, doesn't need a license, so a good thing to put on an application. Typically if he had a specially, he would have named it. First joined an uncle (Leon Swett from Odessa) near Banks, Oregon, USA First seen in USA in the Portland, Multnomah, Oregon, USA Business Directory 1892 as "Chaimoitsh, Samuel tinsmith", and there after as Samuel Chaimov, worked as tinsmith, cornice mkr, tinner, clerk for L(eon) & Z(achariah) Swett Co., and sheet metal worker. He married a woman from nearby Odessa named Sophia Adler, daughter of (Davidss) Isaac Adler (father Jacob of Raygorod, Ukraine: 48o52'06N, 29o03'55 E.; 70 mi NNW from Balta,Ukraine) and wife Julia Levy (born Germany). A second sister Rose Adler married Louis W. Rubenstein, son of Hirsch Rubenstein and Sarah Dellar, all of Russia. Samuel died in 1931 "carbon monoxide poisoning; fell while attempting to light gas (illuminating gas) at home", leaving two sons Philip Mos Chaimov railroad supervisor and Arnold Samuel Chaimov, eye surgeon [my father].
LEON SWETT and his wife SARAH CHAIMOVITCH were Samuel Chaimov's uncle and aunt. The first Swett traveling to the USA was LEON SWETT who came with his wife SARAH CHAIMOVITCH and 4 children (Mary, Zachary, Isaac and Nadia) leaving in 1881 and arriving in June 1882. They came with a large group called the Am Olam movement to go "back to the land," and they settled on a commune in Banks, Oregon, USA, near Portland, Multnomah, Oregon, USA Although these arrangements had been planned for some years, evidently it was the great Odessa Pogrom of 1881 that caused them all (400) to act quickly.
SARAH CHAIMOVITCH was born on 8 July 1841, and she was married in Odessa to Leon Swett. She died aged 65 on 31 Jan 1907 in Portland, Multnomah, Oregon, USA Oregon, USA of pancreatic cancer.

Except for the period of time when Czar Alexander II ruled Russia (between 1855 and 1881), Jews were subject to arbitrary laws that singled them out for pejorative treatment, like 25 year-long draft from age 12. Life under Czar Alexander III became intolerable after 1881. The young, terrified ruler-successor to his assassinated father at once inspired and condoned a campaign of abuses against the Jews, culminating in restrictive laws and pogroms. The first and largest Am Olam unit formed in Odessa, the scene of an especially bloody pogrom from May 3 to May 5, 1881. Its founder, Monye Bokal, gathered two hundred Odessan Jewish men and women, university students. Bokal sent the respected writer Ben Ami as an emissary to Paris. He was to enlist the financial support of the Alliance Israelite Universalle, the foremost Jewish philanthropic organization in the world at that time. Its chief contributor was Baron Maurice de Hirsch. Under the hands-on leadership of fellow student Paul Kaplan, the first group of sixty-five brave souls left Odessa in late Nov. 1881, bound for the New World. Arriving in New York City in Jan. 1882. (A few months later, a second contingent of seventy followed, and a short while later two other, smaller groups.) The following spring, many of the "Brothers and Sisters" (as they referred to themselves) ventured north to a Hartford, Connecticut farm, determined to gain practical agricultural experience. None had ever worked the land or raised livestock, their knowledge of the subject limited to books. After a nationwide search, the first group of twenty-one men and five women left by boat for Oregon, USA, where Heilprin had purchased in their name a rundown farm for $4,800. He had raised $5,000, mostly from Jacob Schiff, the New York investment banker. The 760-acre spread in Douglas County must have looked like Eden to the weary travelers after a month-long journey that included a steamer to Panama, a wagon trip across that country, and another boat to Oregon, USA the twenty-six courageous "Brethren of New Odessa," as they called themselves, plowed and planted, patched and repaired the ramshackle structures. They were barely teenagers, the oldest a hoary twenty-eight, the youngest (not counting the two babies born after Am Olam landed in America) a mere nineteen. They named their shiny, bright community New Odessa. The first harvest was bountiful, and there was plenty to eat. "Our food consists of bread, potatoes, peas, beans and a little milk," wrote one. The forests were full of game. The rivers teamed with fish. But by winter there was a shortage of heavy clothing and blankets. Of the 760 acres, over 500 were dense forests of tall Douglas fir. He contacted the Oregon, USA and California, USA Railroad and arranged a deal to supply it with firewood for the locomotives and ties for the rails. Opposition to Frey continued to mount, and in 1886, he left New Odessa, taking his family and fifteen original Am Olam members with him. The commune never recovered from this upheaval, and many of its originals also departed and drifted back to New York. By November 1887, after five grueling years, New Odessa collapsed and the property was foreclosed on

from 1901 - 1911, Samuel was variously foreman, manager, and "President and General Manager" (1905 on) of the Air Tight Stove Manufacturing Company.
Pogroms returned to Ukraine in the spring of 1882, the most serious of which was in Balta, Podolia province, on 29 April (10 May) 1882. A greater willingness by the authorities to resort to deadly force in the repression of pogroms finally ended their endemic character in the summer of 1882.
1882 Pogrom with countless loss of Jewish life in Balta, Odessan region of Ukraine.
Greg recalls that a ship's manifest shows what could be Samuel leaving Europe from a place called the Galicia. he discounted the entry because he couldn't find a Galicia that made sense. There is, however, a port city in Romania called Galati, which appears to be cognate with Galicia
His son says "Samuel's running a nickel coffee shop and even failing at that. Samuel went to Redding to run a sheet metal business, which is why Phil was born there. Unknown why Samuel went to Redding to conduct the business or why Samuel returned to Portland. He describes Samuel as a sweet old man.
Samuel built a small house in Multnomah Village in which Phil, and Olga, and my father Alan lived, too, because they couldnt afford their own place. Alan's father's bedroom was the screened porch on the back of the house.
