Description

The Slovanska Podporujici Jednota Statu Texas Hrbitov (SPJST Cemetery) at Praha, Fayete County, Texas was established 16 October 1886 by the Cesko-Slovansky Poporujici Spolek No. 104, titled: "Rad Texan" (Czech-slovak Benevolent Society - C.S.P.S.) and the Praha Reading Society (Cetni Spolek) upon purchase of one acre of land in the J. C. Duff League from Anton and Marie Kulhanek for $20.00. The land is located on the north side of Mulberry Creek Road with gate one-tenth mile west of FM-1295 opposite St. Mary's Cemetery [Praha Catholic Cemetery]. The plot of ground measures 37 1/2 varas by 150 varas (104 feet by 416 feet). The SPJST Cemetery is bounded by a cedar post-barbed wire fence on the north and east sides. A similar fence was located on the west side but is now gone. The south fence was of cedar post-barbed wire with wood rails at top and bottom. The entrance gate was of wood; now gone. The first grave was that of Jakub Wincik whose tombstone is inscribed in both Czech and English. He was born 8 July 1841 and died 8 July 1892. All tombstones face to the east. There is one brick lined grave that is unmarked.
