Interesting Facts
Wasyl may have been related to Fred Kwasnico, also killed in the Hillcrest Mine Disaster. They are buried beside each other.
A Ukrainian newspaper named The Novyny, published in Edmonton, Alberta on the 27th of June, 1914, gave a list of the Rusyn Miners killed in the Hillcrest Mine Disaster. Our interpretation of the Cyrillic script in the article is Vasyl Kvasnyk. Rusyn miners will include miners of Rusyn, Ruthenian or Ukrianian descent.
