Inscription lines 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 in italics. The time of the tombstone's creation determined hypothetically based on the date of Adam Jocher's death. The nature of the inscription referring to Teofila Jocher indicates a later forging of the inscription on an already existing gravestone. In Wacław Wejtka's file, under the letter J, card number 201, dated 1934-1936. According to Wejdka, the old location of the gravestone is sector "A1, row IV, N8. Zw. 'Cment' k 18, plan N:9." However, in his description he notes that the fence consisted of 14 granite posts, linked together by an iron chain. The gravestone mentioned in: A. Sniezko, "Rossa - City of the Dead. Groby zasłużonych", vol. 2, Wrocław 1970 mps in the collection of PAU Kraków, pp. 195-197.
