Cemetery in Stojunce

The Catholic cemetery in Stojunce is located in the eastern part of the village, about 1 kilometre from the parish church.

In the part with inscriptions in Polish, only two graves have survived, including one without an inscription. It is overgrown with tall bushes.

Deep in the bushes is a simple wooden cross with a tin inscription plaque on the grave of the Stojaniec parish priest - Rev. Jan Biega (d. 1906). Nearby is a neglected, nameless vaulted tomb, which locals believe belongs to the Smiałkowski family, former owners of the village.

From a Facebook post on the "Mogila pradziada ocal od zapomnienia" campaign page, we learn that in 2014 volunteers from Żmigród, took care of the cemetery in Stojańce, but also for the 3rd time the cemetery in Tuligłowy. Quoting from the website: "It is already clear that this cemetery will require hard work, the first year of the volunteers' work will mainly consist of clearing the forest and creating documentation.".

This action also took place in 2016, as we learn this time from the website:
http://www.studiowschod.pl/spis-110-kresowych-miast-i-wsi// . The volunteers this time were students from the University of Wroclaw.

Documentation was made for the cemetery (1 cemetery card and 67 tombstone cards) stored in the IOC. Information about the cemetery published (see bibliography).
