The names and the Zemplin County which is one of the Eastern most areas of Eastern Slovakia. Slovaks in Shenanandoah would be buried up in St. Stephen's Cemetery is Roman Catholic. If Greek Orthadox Slovak, and that is quite likely, then they'd be in St. Michaels, America's oldest Greek Orthadox Church. Mahanoy City, just down form Delano has a Slovak Parish wiht a cemetery as well. I believe it is named St. Mary's. None of these cemeteries have any index or data base, so it's a summertime walk and search the stones...hoping they had one in 1900..which may not be the case for your guy Klitch. Census records can line up the other guys here in Schuylkill County. Also, if you can refine the date, or are wiling to run through a lot of microfilm.... the murdered of 1900 probably got a good bit of ink in the Shenandoah Evening Herald which is now on Microfilm in the Pottsville Public Library. In fact, Klitch would be in the Coroner's Reports which are in ledgers sitting out at hte Archives in the Courthouse so the date is easilty accessible that way. And for good measure, the county did record an odd window of deaths ... something like 1892-1905.. so it would hit that as well. If they got here soon enough.. the County has an 1890 census directory of all who were in the 1890 census that burned up. Males have ages and it isn't a hard look up. so, lots of avenues to pursue.
