Was a wealthy and successful timber merchant and mill owner. Owned a large estate (folwark) called Kalyskovka not far from Dolginovo.

At some point in the mid 1800s he signed over the estate to a non-Jew friend of his due to the prohibition of Jews owning land. In roughly 1902 due to the Czar Nikolai II's land expropriation decrees his estate was significantly reduced in size and Samuel's ability to help with finances of his children was impaired. He was "allowed" to keep a small remainder of the estate that included the mill and was given a Government job in his area of expertise - timber.

He moved to Minsk in 1903 and left his eldest son Yisroel manage the estate.

Story has it that he died of anguish around 1917 as the Bolsheviks seized private lands and confiscated wealth.
