Just on the #etelĂ€pohjanmaa side of the border with #satakunta , in the #kauhaneva - #pohjankangas national park, is the simple memorial for Juurakko Gustaf, who "died of hunger on this spot", just before his 60th birthday, on 11th April, 1868. I take this man to have been Kustaa Salomonpoika Ohmero, from #kauhajoki -- as Kauhajoki is 30km from this spot in #lapinkaivo it seems likely he was there seeking work on the marsh drainage relief project that was being organised. #nĂ€lkĂ€vuosienmuistomerkki #nĂ€lĂ€nhĂ€tĂ€ #nĂ€lkĂ€vuodet #1868 #famine #memorial #ostrobothnia #pohjanmaa (at KauhanevaâPohjankangas National Park)
