Additional information:

According to Lucjan Uziębła's file, the boulder was crowned with a concrete cross (still preserved in the 1960s). Wacław Wejtko reported that the inscriptions on the gravestone were barely legible in 1934. According to him, one of the inscriptions read: ALEXANDRA Z BECU / MIANOWSKA / BORN D. 2. JANUARY 1806 / DIED d. 23 MAY 1832 / WITH HER SON / JAN MIANOWSKI / IN THE 6TH MONTH OF LIFE BORN / WHO AT THE TIME OF. S. BIRTHDAY / DIED d. 17 MAY //. The same entry (probably after Wejtko and not based on his own copy is given by A. Śnieżko). The gravestone at the end of the 19th century was deeply sunk into the ground. Thanks to the efforts of Lucjan Uziębła (on the initiative of Leopold Mejet) the gravestone was excavated, at that time the cross was fixed and the letters on it were gilded.
