He received his education in the Parochial schools of his native home, from which he graduated with honors, he afterwards entered as an apprentice in his father's pottery, after serving his time and passing an examination as journeyman potter, he took a two year technical course pertaining to his trade.

For taking an active part in an uprising on February 21 and 22, 1846, he was arrested, tried and sentenced to imprisonment for life. Fortunately this punishment was of a short duration, the March 1848 revolution put an end to same and opened the gates of the Moabit for the political sufferers. After the crushing of the March 1848 revolution he returned to his home and worked for his father in the pottery.

After his marriage he moved to the town of Peplin where started a pottery, living there about six years, but finding in this place many disadvantages and especially in the way of procuring new material, he moved to Gniew where he remained until September 1872.
In October of that year he immigrated to this country, landing in New York with his wife and six children. On May 5, 1873 they settled in Williamsburg, L. I. In the fall of 1874 removing to New York City from whence the whole family moved to Newark, N. J.
In September 1877 Mr. Wysocki came to Howard county, Nebraska, settling near Farwell. He was one of the first settlers of the new colony of New Posen, Nebraska. In November 1878 he returned to Newark and remained with his family until the first of March 1880 when he came back to Howard county. March 19 of the following year his wife and children moved here aiding Mr. Wysocki the home where his life reached its close.
Funeral services were conducted Wednesday morning, March 22, 1916 at the Posen church, by Rev. Father Jaszezyski assisted by Rev. Radka of Ashton and Rev. Jarzemski of St. Paul. The remains were laid to rest in the Posen cemetery alongside those of his wife, who died June 20, 1897.
The many friends extend their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved in their hour of sorrow.
