[1] The following appears in Joseph Bartula's Journal:
"Finally, in the same year 1875, on the 10th of November, two Polish families arrived. Pietrzykowski with his wife and three children (two daughters and one son) and Ohendalski with his wife and two children. He was a son-in-law to Pietrzykowski. They settled on the farm of Roberts."
. . .
"And, in the same year 1876, our son Jozef was born as the first one of Polish families. He was Baptized on 9th day of January by Father Buisant at Roberts' house. As the Godparents were Holt Irish Storman and Mrs. Roberts. Later in September, Franek Bajonski married Pietrzykowski's daughter Franciszka. The wedding was at Roberts' house. But, after one year, Franciszka passed away, also her two weeks old daughter. They are buried in the American Cemetery two and one half miles from Bremond, in the south side of farm of Jozef Zabawa."
"There was also two more Catholic graves of the Sxepertow's - the children of Francisszek Knopa's wife's sister. All four graves are close together and the Chinese Berry (Chinaberry) is growing up on the graves."
[2] Pages 397 and 399 of History of Robertson County by John Walter Baker state: "The Spring and Fall of 1877 was a period of drought. The winter months that followed were severe. Frances Bajanski, who was married the year before, died and she was buried by the side of her infant child at Rhodes Chapel Cemetery. Before Christmas time, two other of the Polish settlers died."
[3] According to direct descendant George B. Wilson of Marlin (October 2001), Alfred Foy Brown & Caroline Campbell Brown were buried in brick vaults in this cemetery as was the tradition in Louisiana from whence they came. The vaults fell-in long ago and George B. Wilson erected a chain-link fence around the graves since there were no grave stones.
[4] Page 401 of History of Robertson County by John Walter Baker says of Herman Schmidt: "He died in 1930 and was buried in the Rhodes Chapel Cemetery."
