About Frenstat Cemetery
Moravian Czech families settling this area in 1884 named their community Frenstat after their home town in Czechoslovakia. In 1887 Alois and Veronica Polansky deeded twenty acres for a school, church, and cemetery, and the community built Our Lady of Holy Rosary Catholic Church. The cemetery held its first priest-officiated burial in 1890.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Frenstat Cemetery
In 1884, several Moravian Czech families established farms in this area, naming the community Frenstat, or Friendsted, for Frenstat, Czechoslavakia. Alois and Veronica Polansky deeded 20 acres for a school, church and cemetery in 1887. The community built Our Lady of Holy Rosary Catholica Church and called the associated cemetery St. John's, Frenstat Catholic, or Our Lady of Holy Rosary Cemetery. The first burial by a priest was that of Frank Marek (d. 1890). Today, the cemetery is the final resting place of military veterans, priests and hundreds of area residents. It remains a testament to the area's Czech heritage. Historic Texas Cemetery - 2004 Supplemental plate: Adolf (not Alois) and Veronica Polansky deeded the land for the Frenstat school, church and cemetery in 1887 for the sum of $100.
