Max Galasinski
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maximillian Joseph Galasinski (March 18, 1879 – April 13, 1972) was an American stonecutter, sculptor, sanitation supervisor and alderman from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who served one term as a Democratic member of the Wisconsin State Assembly and one term in the Wisconsin State Senate.[1]
Galasinski was born March 18, 1879, in the same part of Milwaukee which he represented in the Assembly. He was educated in the public and parochial schools, and in night schools. From 1891 to 1893 he was an apprentice pharmacist, and in the following nineteen years learned and practiced his father's trade of stonemasonry and sculpturing, building some of the best known monuments in Milwaukee, including the Kosciuszko Monument in South Side Park. In 1912 he became a superintendent of street sanitation for the Fourteenth Ward, a position he held for sixteen years, until in 1928 he was chosen alderman for that ward. He also served as secretary of St. John Cantius Church.
