Description

A plat plan for the dedication of two acres of Lot 110, Slavia Colony Co.'s subdivision of Section 19, Township 12 south, range 31 east in Seminole County, FL was filed and recorded in Plat Book 7, page 7, of the public records of Seminole County on August 3, 1931. The Colony and the congregation of St. Luke's had been chartered 20 years earlier, but, ironically, there had been no deaths in the community until this time. Just two years later (1933), the Joseph Mikler family would lose their young son, John (age 12), who would be the first member of the Slavia/St. Luke's communities to be buried in the hallowed ground of the "Slovak Lutheran Cemetery." During that period (and until the first permanent brick church was erected on another piece of property in 1939), the St. Luke's congregation worshiped in a small wood church located on the cemetery grounds.
