ZCBJ Lodge Cemetery
Conway, Walsh County, North Dakota

Lat: 48° 14' 20"N, Lon: 97° 41' 11"W
Eden Twp, SW� Sec 14

Contributed by Marty C. Byzewski, May 25, 2006 [sherlynmeiers@invisimax.com]. Total records = 93.

This cemetery is located about 38 miles NW of Grand Forks ND. Take Hwy 2 west 31 Miles to the Niagara ND Exit and go North on Hwy 32, about 27 miles then go east through Fordville on County Rd 19 and turn north 1 mile on RD 12A. You will see Saint Mark Cemetery and then ZCBJ Lodge Cemetery north of Saint Marks.

Perth Twp was settled circa 1880 and Conway expanded with the coming of the Soo Railway in 1905. No information on the founding of this cemetery could be found. ZCBJ (Zapadni Cesko Bratrska Jednota) or Western Bohemian Fraternal Association organization as a fraternal organization, provided security and ethnic solidarity for Czech immigrants in America. There was a ZCBJ lodge in Conway at the turn of the century.

I walked and read this cemetery in May 2006 using my digital camera. I am willing to share photos, and Walsh Co, Polish and Czech Genealogy information if anyone wishes to contact me.
