Former Resi
dent Invents a
Casket Placer
J. R. Smetana, Son of Mr. and Mrs
Alois Smetana Patents Auto
matic Casket Placer.
J. R. Smetana, director of the
Memorial Park cemetery in Sedalia,
Mo., recently "completed and has
patented a casket grave placer used
in burials in cemeteries, and already
released the patent to the Cham
pion Co., Springfield. Ohio, under a
contract which will pay him royal
ties. Mr. Smetana, was born in Prague,
Czechoslovakia, and came with his
parents to the United States when
five years old, residing at Platts
mouth, Nebraska, where he grew to
manhood. At the outbreak of the
World war he enlisted in the U. S.
navy, and during the war made thir
teen trips across the Atlantic as an
escort to transport ships. He had
three uncles in the Czech army and
one in the Foreign Legion during
the war.
After the war he returned to
Plattsmouth and went with the Bur
lington railroad, and in 1925 came
to Sedalia. While visiting here he
went with the Missouri Pacific shops
and remained there until 1931 when
he was laid off, and after which he
connected with the Memorial Park
cemetery. Since that time he has
been the director of the local ceme
tery.
During the handling of funerals
he watched the pall bearers having
difficulty placing the casket over the
1 grave, especially when a heavy vault
was used. He obtained the idea of
an automatic placer which would
handle caskets at all times whether
a vault was used or not and after
many months of figuring, using parts
of junked automobiles, he invented
the placer which is now being manu
factured. After he had perfected the model
and it was used numerous times in
funerals by both McLaughlin Broth
ers and' the Gillespie Undertakers,
he made a few minor changes. He
obtained letters of recommendation
frcm Philip McLaughlin and Ernest
Gillespie regarding its use, had it
patented and then contacted the
Champion Co., who after several
weeks of experiment took over the
manufacturing, and sent the first
placer to Mr. Smetana. .
