Other Possible Burials at St. Wenceslaus Cemetery or on nearby farms.

The Czech Journal does not record any deaths for the years 1885, 1886,1887, 1888, 1890, and 1900. One tombstone was found with a death date of 1890, but it seems likely other deaths occurred during the times listed, especially from 1885-1888, a period of four years.

Lacina/Oslun, Marie
There is a an Andera Cross for Marie, and a possible translation of the Czech Journal is that she died “with pregnancy”. There is no record of an infant being buried with her.

Samek, Henry Martin and Viola Henry Eugene Samek, their son, died at 5 weeks of age 10/27/1927-12/06/1927. He was “Buried in Catholic Cemetery”, but no record is found in other local Catholic Cemeteries or St. Wenceslaus.

Jermier, Albert T. and Veronica
Family history says a pair of twins born in Clayton County died at birth. This is likely between 1874 and 1876, before St. Wenceslaus was organized. Their burial site is unknown.

Lestina, Albert and Mary
Their obituaries list 3 children who died in infancy or childhood. Joe, likely born 1876 or 1877, is on the 1880 census but not on the 1885 census. He is mentioned in his brother Frank’s obituary in 1946. He apparently died between 1880 and 1885, but no record of his burial is found. In 1879 a twin sister to son Albert died at birth or shortly thereafter. A third child was apparently born and died. The birth report states that there was a 7th child, a male, born on 03/30/1883. There was no record of Emma’s birth, reportedly about this same time.

Lestina, Frank and Kathryn
In 1881, twin sons died at birth. The Czech Journal begins recording deaths in November 1881, but there is no record of these twins. There are two small stones on the family lot with no names on them.
