ANTHONY GOLEMBIEWSKI, a recent portrait of whom we take pleasure in presenting
on the opposite page, is manager and stockholder of the Polish Lithuanian
Brewing Company of Danville, Pa., which is one of the largest brewing companies
in Central Pennsylvania and has a reputation for turning out first-class lager
beer, porter and the purest of ale. Our subject was born in Jejsorki, Poland,
May 12, 1863, and is a son of Thomas Golembiewski.

  Thomas Golembiewski, the father of our subject was born in Poland and resided
in his native country all his life, engaged in the pursuits of an agriculturist.
He was the progenitor of a large family of children, one of whom was Anthony,
the subject of this biographical sketch.

  Anthony Golembiewski was reared and educated in his native country and at the
age of nineteen years immigrated to the United States and located in New York
City. He moved to Hazleton, Pa., a short time later and engaged in the
brick-making business, and later in mining in the same town. Moving to Luzerne
County, Pa., he located in Nanticoke, where he embarked in the hotel business,
which he continued until June 12, 1895, when he removed to Danville and with P.
H. Coyne, Thomas Butkiewicz, president, John Zukoski, treasurer, and Simon
Savage, charter members, purchased the above-named brewing company of P. P.
Smith, assignee of the Polish-American Brewing Company. The plant is located at
Nos. 16 to 34 Spring street; the main building is a four-story structure; the
machinery in this building is set in motion by a large engine which has two
boilers, one a 100 horse-power and the other a 60 horsepower; in the ice plant
is stored a large quantity of barley and hops; the cold-storage room contains
the cooling vats, twelve in all, which have a capacity of 150 barrels each. The
company manufactures about eighteen thousand barrels of beer per annum; has a
large supply-house at Scranton, Pa., where there is a great demand for its beer;
and gives employment to forty hands, and has sixteen fine teams which are kept
constantly busy delivering throughout the city.

   Mr. Golembiewski was united in marriage to Julia Uszinski, a daughter of
Simon Uszinski of Nanticoke, Pa., and they are the parents of ten children, as
follows: Stanley, Anthony, Annie, Victoria, Charles, Vincent, and Mary; and
Adam, Joseph, and Frank, deceased. Our subject and his family are popular
members of the German Catholic Church of Danville. Mr. Golembiewski is one of
the most prominent and hustling business men of Danville, and is held in high
esteem by his fellow-citizens and acquaintances.
