According to Wacław Wejtka's records, in 1936 there was a wooden cross with the figure of Christ and a tin plaque with the inscription: S + P / Stefan Bruski / Cleric of the Congregation / of the Missionary Fathers / in Vilnius / died. August 14, 1934 / at the age of 20 / R and P. //. Next to it was also a wooden cross dedicated to Leon Zarychta, who died on 20 November 1934 at the age of 18. And there was also a wooden cross with a figure of Christ and a tin plaque with the inscription: S + P / Jan Gut / Brother of the Congregation / Priest of the Missionaries / Died 2 July 1932 / R. I. P. //. (Jan Gut drowned in the pond in the Missionaries' garden). According to maps from the late 1950s/60s, there were most likely 6 earth graves and one slab or band at this site. This confirms the determination of the time of the gravestone's creation to a later period, probably the 1990s. Father Kazimierz Zniszczyński was a keen beekeeper, his "July honeys" were regarded as some of the best in Vilnius.
