(Eds.) Joseph J. Belinski, a successful practitioner of law with offices at 1016 Chicago Opera House block and 1906 South Ashland avenue, was born in Chicago on May 10, 1874, and is a son of Clement A. and Jadwiga (Witkowski-Nowakowski) Belinski, both of whom were natives of German Poland, who came to the United States in the early seventies and located in Chicago. Joseph J. was reared in his native city, and educated in the public and parochial schools. Having made up his mind to study law he entered the Chicago College of Law, and in June, 1896, passed the examination and was duly admitted to the bar of Illinois. He immediately began the practice and has thus been engaged with success ever since. He has served as attorney for the Polish Roman Catholic Union of America for eight years, attorney for the village of West Hammond, Cook county, for two years, and is a member of St. Adelbert's Polish Roman Catholic church. His success is due to his own energy and ability. He owns a fine home at 1906 South Ashland avenue. On June 7, 1897, he married Agatha Guzy, a native of German Poland and by her has four children living: Helen, John, Adelaide and Theodore Roman. Additional Comments: Goodspeed, W.A., & Healy, D.D.
