Read More	Wasyl ( William ) Lopushinsky was born in 1860 on the West bank of the San River in the village of Swiete ( Shwenjenti ) Poland. This area was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time of his birth. He got married to Katrina ( maiden name unknown ) and they had 3 boys in Poland, including Peter, Fred, and John. The family came to Canada in 1896. They would settle in an area known then as Edna (now Star) or Beaver Creek, North West Territories. Alberta became a Province in 1905, so these areas would now be part of Alberta. Wasyl was a founding member of the Russo Orthodox Church at Skaro, and along with members built the church from logs. Wasyl's homestead was on SE - 12-57-20-4. Apparently some of the land used to build the church had belonged to Wasyl. Wasyl died in May of 1900, just about one month before his 6th child, Hazel was born. Wasyl was buried at the Russo Greek Orthodox Cemetery at Skaro, although there is no grave marker or church records of the event. Reference to him being buried here is found in the book "By River and Trail". An excerpt written by his granddaughter Rachel Lord tells of his life.
