Victims of the Hillcrest Mining Disaster
June 19^th 1914

The Hillcrest Mine Disaster Commemoration Committee are searching for the families of the victims in hopes of being able to document who these young men were, from where they had come, possibly what had brought them to this new country and to the mining towns of the Crows Nest Pass and what became of their descendants.

The Committee have identified certain errors on the list e.g Wallis should be Wallace, Muirhouse should be Moorhouse, and many of the ages are incorrect, especially if the miner was single

If you have any information which may assist the committee please contact Belle Kovach at or Belle Kovach, Box 46, Hillcrest, Alberta, Canada  T0K 1C0
