FRANK GORNOWICZ FAMILY

Martin Gornowicz, born in 1833 in Poland, came to America in 1855.

He was the father of Frank Gornowicz, born in 1857 and came to Walsh County from Wisconsin in 1879. He was one of the first settlers to homestead in Pulaski Township, northeast of Warsaw. He married Clara Kulkowski, who was born at Pine Creek, Wisconsin in 1864. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gornowicz were parents of five daughters and one son, Mary, Florence, Minnie, Rosie, Brony, and Adam. Frank Gornowicz died Feb. 27, 1926, and Clara passed away April 24, 1955.

A sad incident in the life of Martin Gornowicz was the death of his first wife in the storm of 1880. When she went to visit neighbors one Sunday afternoon a storm came up while she was returning home and lasted for three days. Her body wasn't found until the spring of the year.
