+ <p>At present, the Tolkovo cemetery is divided into two parts. The first is the new cemetery, where burials are still taking place today, and the second is the old cemetery, which has become overgrown with forest. There is currently no information about preserved old monuments or gravestones in the old section.</p>
+
+ <p>According to a resident of the village of Tolkovo, Vera Grinevich, people were still being buried in the old cemetery during the Polish period, but very rarely. Later, it became too small, and the cemetery was expanded. According to her memory, even during the Polish period, burials already took place at the very beginning of the cemetery, which indicates that this section was created after 1905, when the Orthodox church was built in Tolkovo.</p>

+
+ <p>However, on maps from 1866, it can be seen that no cemetery existed at this location. The third and oldest cemetery was located further up, near the village of Virowy.</p>

+
+ <p>This suggests that the cemetery between Tolkovo and the Tolkovo folwark (which existed until 1945–47) appeared after 1905.</p>
+
+ <p>On Polish WIG maps, roads and paths are still visible, but the cemetery is no longer marked before World War II.</p>
