Cemetery in Bojary

Bojary | Belarus
biał. Bajary (Баяры)
The active, rural Catholic cemetery was established in the first half of the 19th century. The foundation is located about 300 m. from the small village of Bojary. A road leads to the hill, where the establishment is located. The cemetery is rectangular in plan, occupies ca. 0.5 ha, is not divided into sections and is fenced with a wooden fence. The cemetery is dominated by burials from the first half of the 20th century. The oldest gravestone in the cemetery is a granite boulder with an indistinct inscription, located on the grave of NN. Woyanowska, /1839/ TU SPOCZYWA WOYANOWSKA/. A gravestone worth paying attention to is the grave of the Oskierko family, where there are three gravestones with inscriptions: / Ś. P. WŁADYSŁAW/ OSKIERKA/ 1839-1909/
