When still in Warsaw, lived at Ogrodowa street, according to his second marriage record in 1901. Witnessed marriage of his daughter Walerya to Joseph Niwiński in 1913, Detroit, Michigan, USA. Died at the age of 81 in Eloise Insane Asylum where he spent 6 months and 11 days, widowed. Alternative surname spelling: Dolowski. His sons Marjan and Franciszek were involved in attempt to kill Russian governor (most likely Gieorgi Skałon or Nikołaj Wonlarski) in Warsaw in 1906 and they had to escape in order to avoid procecution. Their brother Leon decided to stay in Warsaw and was forced to relocate to Baku, Azerbajan (then part of the Russian Empire). Bolesław traveled to US several times, to Dietroit via Montreal, Quebec, Canada and to New York via Ellis Island. It seems that at some point in 1911 he was debarred from entering US via Vermont, St. Albans Canada. He then arrived with Waleria Dolewska (his daughter) and Leonard Bielawski (his daughte Franciszka's husband) to New York via Ellis Island on 13th of May 1912. They left Bremen on the 4th of May 1912.
