Destroyed graves

 

 

Alix

Among other things, broke the sand stele of Samuel Benjamin Hendryk’s, also broke off a fragment of the oldest monument where Wojciech Bożymira Greffena is buried.
From the description provided in the book by Stanislaw Małyszko (S. Małyszko, The historic cemetery at Turnpike in Kalisz, Kalisz 2003, p. 94) shows that the inscription on the back plate was a medallion decorated with an image of the archangel blowing the trumpet, which was to herald the beginning of the Last Judgement.
There are reports showing that Samuel came to Kalisz from the Netherlands. Close to the town, He built a few fans wheel (koźlak). He was mostly into windy millers. In the EA cemetery, his daughter Bertha and her husband, are buried as well. Also Edward Bunzler, who lived in the years 1827-1891 and his granddaughter Leonia from Bunzlers Mikhailov – Dobriakowa (1877-1964). In the same grave lies Leonia’s son, Michael Dobriak (1904-2001). Michael was a painter, known primarily from the fact that he was one of the last students of Ferdinand Ruszczyc or Ludomir Ślendziński.
Wojciech Greffen’s tombstone was most probably built in 1815 (1816?). The deceased was a captain of the Polish army, He took part in three campaigns of Napoleon. Dates of trips are engraved on the back of the tomb, from the tree side. In the thesis of Maciej Blachowicz we read as fallows: “It is a form of low squat needle. As Wojciech who is buried here (…) was the captain of the Polish, army headstone is decorated with a Roman military helmets.
There are also military banners and wreaths of glory. Our attention is placed on the front page figure supported on a cross. This is an allegory of sorrow. The only consolation and hope for the Christian faith, so swathed in mourning veil woman despite
despair with all her strength, is trying to capture the cross. The inscriptions on the needle refer to the glory of war. Monument was once decorated with urns and arms of the dead, but they now no longer exist. It is worth noting that this is the only tomb which shows nobility here.” (Maciej Błachowicz, Architecture and style of tombstones from cemeteries on the Turnpike of Kalisz from the beginning. XIX to the beginning of XX century. The creators of Kalisz tomb sculpture, 2003).
