''Frank Vindicator'', 30 August 1912. "A collection was lately taken up among the employees of the Hillcrest Collieries Limited, for Fred Kwasnico, the one-time timber boss in the mine here. A handsome amount was realized and will be turned over to him intact. It will be remembered that Kwasnico had a bad attack of typhoid fever which kept him in the Frank Hospital for several months. Since his illness he has never been able to resume work, and his fellow workmen have taken this practical way of showing their sympathy for him in his misfortune." | ''Frank Vindicator'', 30 August 1912.
