Additional information:

According to Wacław Wejtka's file, there was "a glazed cupboard in which a granite obelisk with pictures of NPMarya and Jesus enclosed - underneath them a carved inscription, gilded letters: 'Happiness you have given us / And taken us with you / We here afflicted / But we think with you'. There were supposed to be wreaths in the centre of this structure. This makes it possible to date the gravestone to the second half of the 1930s.
