Cemeteries of Texas Coordinator: Dolores I. Bishop

 

This cemetery was begun in 1912 and is governed by the National Cemetery Association with Mr. Anton Kelner in charge. The survey was done on Jul 01 1985, but no name is given as to who did the survey. There is a note that states, "In reading the markers, the copier moved from west to east in an imaginary line".

The gate has the wording Cesko Nardoni Hrbitov, which means Czech National Cemetery. A map indicates it is north of the San Francisco Cemetery.

To get to the cemetery go west from East Bernard on 90A for the right on CR 291, 1 mile on the right.
