'Otec' is not a surname. It is Czech (and Slovak) for 'Father'. The distaff is 'Matka'. Supra is a bolster stone in Monroe Street on the west side of Cleveland, next to it is an hedge apple, on top of it is squirrel shredded hedge apple. Infra is a stone at Woodland on the east side of Cleveland. There were Czech neighbourhoods close to each, and both have many Czech burials. This is an English language essay, and many of those who would read it would only be conversant in English. The inscriptions in most languages say similar stuff.
