Miner Information:
My grandfather, Andrew (Jockie) Kwasek, emigrated to America in 1910. His last place of residence was Bukowo, Poland. He was a skilled watchmaker and farmer. Here in America, he lived in Plymouth, PA. He worked as a laborer in the local coal mines. I've heard stories that Andrew used to walk to work, at the Loomis Colliery, from Plymouth. Everyone who knew my grandfather spoke very highly of him. He was a hard worker and a very kind, generous man. Andrew married Stella Dargel in 1914. Together they had 6 children. In the late 1930's, the Kwasek family moved to Shickshinny and lived on a farm. The family returned to Plymouth, in the late 1940's. My grandfather passed on March 23, 1959. He is buried in St Mary's Cemetery, Plymouth Twp.
