Two blocks in the town of Cistern was obtained in 1890 for Sts. Cyril and Methodius Church and Cemetery. Reverend Emil T. Vinklarek, native son, rests in this graveyard, as does Monsignor Edmund J. Bily.
The oldest grave, according to tombstone inscriptions, is that of Ludvik Petr Svec who died 3 Jun 1902. However, Ludvik Svec, his brother, Paul V. Svec, and his father, Paul Svec, were each originally buried in a cemetery near Smithville. When Petromila Svec died in 1941 and was buried at Cistern, her husband's and sons' graves were also moved as she had wished.(1)
