     We    (the right) members resolved to establish for ourself
     a common cemetery, so we would in the case of death of any of our
member or members of his family have a place to put him for an eternal sleep.

By this, we founders are giving  the rights to our men that everyone
had the right to bury on this cemetery his or from his family dead
body, except in the case if the club would unanimously resolved by
some amount to contribute to the common burials.    Jan Milacek
