Featured Profile #30 - Stanley Maternowski

Stanley Maternowski (1873 - 1949):

From the Find A Grave entry for Stanley Maternowski
 From Memoirs of Milwaukee County, edited by Jerome Anthony Watrous, page 999:



Stanley ran his contracting business first at South 14th Street and West Harrison Avenue and then later at South 15th Street and W. Oklahoma Avenue.  According to his obituary in the Milwaukee Journal, he retired in about 1934.  He and Frances went on to have more children than those mentioned above.  At the time of Stanley's death in 1949, they had seven sons and four daughters.

Astute readers of this blog may also remember that Stanley was in the room at the time Dominic Gapinski was shot and killed.  (See, Felony Murder - the Death of Dominic Gapinski.)
