Gorski, A. Frank, Buffalo, son of Albert and Zuzana Gorski, was born in Poland, Prussia, July 17, 1843. His
father, a farmer, died when he was eight months old, and his mother reared and educated him, giving him a thorough
training in music. For several years after he attained his majority he was an instructor in music and later engaged
in the grocery and distilling business, which he followed until 1869, when he came to America. He first went to
St. Paul, Minn., where he was organist in a church for two and one-half years. He was afterward a teacher in Winona,
Minn., for three years and a school teacher in Pine Creek. Wis., for two years, and then came to Buffalo where
he has since resided, being first a teacher and organist in St. Stanislaus school and church. In 1880 he engaged
in the real estate, insurance, banking, and steamship ticket business, which he has since followed with uniform
success. He is an active Republican, was the organizer and president of a prominent Polish society club, and in
1895 was elected to the city council for a term expiring December 31, 1898. He has been a trusted leader of his
party and a delegate to various political conventions. He was married in Buffalo to Angela Strozykowska, who is
also a native of Poland, Prussia, and they have a son and two daughters.
