Bolesław Masłowski was a Polish chemist born in 1851 in Włodawa, died in 1928 in Konice (Czechoslovakia)

Bolesław Masłowski was born in June 21 1851 in Włodawa on Bug river (Poland). (His certificate of baptism is stored in the archives of the Parish of St.Louis of Pauline Fathers in Włodawa). He died in June 20 1928 in Konice, Moravia. He came from an impoverished noble family (Samson coat of arms), which originates from Wieluń (Poland). "Masłowski" family used the nickname "Watta," and wrote "of Ruda" (Polish: "Z Rudy"). Zygmunt Gloger in his "Historic geography of ancient Polish lands" (Polish: "Geografia historyczna ziem dawnej Polski") repeats after Jan Długosz, that the first capital of Wieluń County was Ruda before it was selected Wieluń, which was more conveniently located. Masłowski was a son of Rajmund Masłowski (1825-1897) and Waleria Józefa of Danilewicz (1828-1869). His brother was Stanisław Masłowski, Polish painter (1853–1926). Masłowski's grandfather from his mother, Wincenty Danilewicz, (Ostoja coat of arms, born in 1787 in Mińsk Lit. – former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth territory), was involved – as light-cavalryman – in the Napoleonic campaign, for which he was awarded the French Order of Legion of Honour. Masłowski's father was a lawyer. He was promoted several times, changing (with his family) his place of residence. Therefore Włodawa - Masłowski's birthplace – was one of many sites where his father was employed. Masłowski family moved (in 1856) from Włodawa to Garwolin, and shortly (in 1858) - to Chęciny. It's worth noting that Rajmund Masłowski in January Uprising was the head of the Chęciny district. Therefore, in mid-1864 he was arrested, and then about six months he spent in Kielce prison.
