Halamicek Cemetery

Fayetteville, Fayette County

Marker Text

When their infant daughter, Klara, died in 1899, Frank and Josephine Pustejovsky laid her to rest on this land owned by relatives Peter (1857-1927) and Rosina (1859-1919) Krystinek. Later that year, the Krystineks conveyed one acre around her grave to John M. Halamicek, Joseph Pokorney and Frank Pustejovsky, among others, for use as a cemetery for the growing community of Roznov. John (1855-1941) and Anna (1865-1939) Halamicek came here in 1885, naming their settlement after John's birthplace in Czechoslovakia. Their investment in this area is reflected in the names of friends and family members remembered here. Historic Texas Cemetery - 2001
