    Kongenshus Mindepark memorial stone for Lø Herred, Tønder Amt
    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.

    Most likely her as she was born on 24 Nov but in 1836 and not in 1844 as it says. Looked up in the church books of Skast, but no one born in 1844. I am quite sure that is Ingeborg.
