Cholera - a disease that spread fear in the Polish lands in the 19th century. Today it has almost been repressed, and the memory of its terrible effects has been somewhat obscured by other terrible diseases of the present day (...).

Infection with cholera occurred mainly through the alimentary route, most often as a result of drinking water contaminated with faeces or after eating contaminated food. Cholera bacteria were also transmitted through contact with an infected person, e.g. through dirty hands. (...)

In the past, the choleric cemetery in Głowienka occupied a large area in Jaworze (the common name of the area where it is located). It was surrounded by a blackthorn fence and in its central part there was a large wooden cross. Two trees, an ash and a linden, grew in opposite corners. Today, the cemetery is located in a large clump of bushes right next to the municipal road.
