Introduction
Edward Dolinski was born in Camden, New Jersey on August 31, 1920 to Anthony and Alexandra Dolinski. Born in Poland, Anthony Dolinski had married and was living at 1303 South 10th Street, just off of Liberty Street, with his wife Alexandra at the time of the January 1920 Census enumeration. He was working as a laborer at a bottling business. The Dolinskis later moved to 1165 Lansdowne Avenue, where they resided in 1924.
When the Census was taken in 1930 the family owned a home at 1166 Mechanic Street. Anthony Dolinski had gone into the bottling business himself, at the Mechanic Street address. The business was known as the Keystone Bottling Works. Sadly, by 1947 Anthony Dolinski had passed away. His widow kept the family business going. The Dolinskis eventually got a package goods license, and operated a liquor store under the name of Keystone Liquor Store, at 1166 Mechanic Street, which remained the family residence.
On February 24, 1965 Edward Dolinski was shot twice during a robbery, in the stomach and in the shoulder, and was critically wounded.
Edward Dolinski died of natural causes on July 15, 1967 at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital. He was survived by his wife, Stella Dolinski, and his mother, Alexandra Dolinski.
