Hans Christian Nielsen and Ingeborg Cathrine (nee Pedersen)

Kongenshus Mindepark memorial stone for Sønderjylland which is the sourthern part of Jutland, next to the Danish-German border. This picture is taken from the side.
Hans Christian and Ingeborge were honoured with an inscription of their name at the memorial stone for Lø Herred, Sønderjyllands Amt. This because of their work to cultivate hedge land in Ballum during the years 1884-1905. At that time no machines could help cultivate the hedge. So Hans Christian more or less cultivated it by hand using a spade! In total 12.5 acres were cultivated during these years. Not bad for a very poor couple to get their names on this stone. Only a few names in each part of Denmark got their names honoured in this way.
