This will take you back to the "Photo Album" page.

St. Vaclav Cemetery (also known as St. Wenceslaus) is located west of the town of Clutier, having its beginnings in 1899 when four acres of land were purchased from Michael Chizek. One acre was used for the church and parish house and three for the cemetery. The church and cemetery remain.

The first burial was that of Elisha Stepanek who died 23 Aug 1898. The next burial was in 1899, Ludmilla Stepanek who died 22 June, an infant. It is reported that John and Anna Vorba Stepanek are the parents and buried next to these children but on the 1900 census Anna records that she had 5 children and all are alive. Frank and Sophia Stepanek are also possible parents. Sophia records she has been married for 4 years to John, has 3 chidren and 2 are alive. The children alive are ages 9 years and 7 years. I would suggest that she is the mother of Ludmilla but further research is needed. [Some information came from Tama County History, 1987, pg. 95, article written by Marie K. Vileta]

St. Vaclav or St. Wenceslaus Church was completed in December 1900 and the first mass was held Christmas Day 1900. The first baptism also took place at this time which was Charles Svoboda. First weddings were between Ed Kustin and Frances Brestan and also Frank Yuska and Marie Salesek. [Informatioin came from the Tama County History, 1987, pg. 94, article written by Mary Kubik]
