ST. MARY CATHOLIC/TISCH
MILLS
PUBLIC CEMETERY, Mishicot Twp., Manitowoc Co., Wisconsin.
Location:
This cemetery is located 0.4 mile south of the junction of County BB
and
B, on B, the west side of the road, next to St. Mary Catholic Church.
Copied by members of the Manitowoc County Old Cemetery Society on Sunday, August 1 and Sunday, August 22, 1976.
Notes are
italicized:
The
Pivonka names in this record are remarkably coincident with names in
the
JM Pivonka family, especially in the Frank and JN Pivonka families. (A
Link and URL for the source of this information will be added as soon
as
it is available. The St Mary's Cemetary is apparently tied to a large
Czech
community, and it will be of interest to people of Czech descent
generally.)
Although there is no record of the given name of the father, Mary Pivonka's (1839) husband, the fact that his son is named Thomas invites speculation that this may be the 'lost brother' Thomas mentioned in Jacob Method Pivonka family records. And even that the name coincidences are the result of a common tradition in naming family members.
