Interesting Facts
Alois Zámiš was an uncle to the child of Petro Kohar, who was also killed in the Hillcrest Mine Disaster.
Step-Brother Tony Zámiš "sustained minor injuries by falling in the fan shaft one day last week. Zamis was sent into the fan in connection with some repairs being made and as it was very dark he did not see the shaft and stepped into it, falling about 30 feet. His injuries were of less serious moment than the unpleasant hours he spent at the bottom of the shaft until he was missed and fellow workmen came to his rescue." From Frank Paper, 12 August 1909.
