About New Tabor Cemetery
New Tabor Cemetery was established in 1888 when Henry Ginzel sold land to trustees for a burial ground serving Czech and German immigrant families who had settled the area from the 1870s. The first recorded burial was an infant, and many graves date from a 1919 influenza outbreak. The cemetery holds more than 35 military veterans.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at New Tabor Cemetery
New Tabor was settled by Czech and German immigrants in the 1870s and 1880s. It was named for the community of Tabor in Czechoslovakia. In February 1888, Henry Ginzel sold 3.25 acres of land for a cemetery to trustees F. Jurcak, G. Hnilica and J. Skribanek. The first recorded burial here was that of infant Jan Skrabanek in July 1888; the first adult burial was that of Martin Fojt, who died in October 1888. A number of graves are those of infants and children, attesting to the often harsh conditions of pioneer life. The many who died in 1919 may have been victims of the influenza epidemic. More than 35 military veterans are interred here. With more than 841 graves, the cemetery continues to serve the descendants of New Tabor's pioneer settlers.
