Cemetery in Taraszcza

The Catholic cemetery in Taraszcza is located in the western part of the town in a small forest. The cemetery is disused and in a residual state. Zbigniew Hauser found 10 gravestones with Polish inscriptions on it, which date to the end of the 19th century. No crosses have survived on most of the monuments. The oldest gravestone is a black marble monument to Peter Trotsky, who died in 1887. In the cemetery, the rock-shaped gravestone without a cross of the local doctor and amateur artist Dr Adolf Rykman (died 1890) has been preserved. The best preserved is the monument to Maria Domanska, who died in 1906. The black marble plinth, which no longer bears a cross, bears an inscription and a trace of a photograph. The only signed monument in the cemetery is an unaltered gravestone made of a row of marble deprived of a cross signed by A. Oleszkiewicz from Biała Cerkiew, whose gravestones can be seen in cemeteries in neighbouring villages e.g. in Stawyszczach.
