The cemetery is on privately owned land & Davy Crockett National Forest. The directions given for finding this cemetery were to take State Highway 94 from Groveton, TX, toward Apple Springs, turn right at the Lacy Cemetery sign, go past the Lacy cemetery to Parkers & Roxie Tullos places, take the first road to the left & the Bohemian Cemetery would be on the right side of this almost abandoned road in the woods. You will need an escort to access the cemetery through private land.
While the Czechoslovakian settlers were still in the area, the town of Bohemian existed. Bohemian, Texas is now part of the Sylvester, Texas community. Some Czechoslovakian families may have re-interned their family members when they moved, giving credence to local claim that no one was buried there and it was an abandoned cemetery. THIS IS FALSE INFORMATION. Listed are some of the known graves. Graves are marked with pipes. It is understood that the pipe is for the deceased to breath or the spirit to escape to heaven. In 2002, Trinity County Historical Commission (TCHC) was contacted by a family member, who visited this cemetery, and gave us the names listed. She was upset because vandals had attacked the cemetery, breaking up tombstones and digging in graves. The skeletal remains were reburied.
