Disposition of the Contributions for the Destitute Poles of Nebraska
Dziennik Chicagoski, Mar. 25, 1895
It already has been mentioned that Peter Kiolbassa has sent a second sum of money to help our destitute countrymen in Nebraska, who have been hard hit by the widespread depression. This sum of money--two hundred dollars has already reached Reverend Sebastyanski, who has divided it among three Polish parishes: Posen, Elba and Ashton.
The disposition of the money has been given in detail in a letter sent to
Mr. Kiolbassa recently:
"St. Joseph Parish, Elba, Nebraska.

"It is hereby acknowledged that I have received from Peter Kiolbassa of Chicago twenty dollars for the assistance of my parishioners at Elba.
