Charles Andrea Sr. of Spilleville Iowa produced molded metal markers that
were distributed thruoghout the central U.S. St Wenceslaus Cemetery in
Spilleville oldest section is covered with these markers. The church is
modeled after one in Bohemia.[Czech] Spilleville is a Bohemian town where
Antonin Dvorak lived when he worked on his New World Symphony in 1893. They
feature a cross shape with skull and cross bones for "they thought about
their end while they were with us" The markers are also located in a nearby
church cemetery in a neghboring town. Between them is a country cemetery
signed the " National Bohemian Cemetery"
