Geocache Description:


Brevbärare Jonas Peter Falk brukade torpet under 1800-talets mitt och därav namnet, Falkalyckan.
Vid 68 års ålder, 1860, emigrerade Jonas och hans två döttrar, 8 och 11år, till USA.
Jonas flyttade i USA in hos sin dotter från hans första äktenskap och levde där till han blev 88 år.

Jonas tyckte om att röka sin pipa, men han avundades indianerna när de visade honom sina små tobaksland.
Omsider gav en vänlig indian honom några tobaksplantor och visade hur de skulle planteras.
Det dröjde sedan inte länge förrän Jonas skördade sin tobak från eget tobaksland.
”Å dä ble te lite snus mä”, skröt han.
Han plockade de finaste bladen, torkade dem väl och malde dem otaliga gånger på sin gamla kaffekvarn.

Torpet är helt utplånat då Jonas med familj antagligen var den siste boende på stället.

 

Postman Jonas Peter Falk lived at the croft during the mid-1800s and fromhim comes the name, Falkalyckan.
At the age of 68, in 1860, emigrated Jonas and his two daughters, 8 and 11 years, to the United States.
Jonas moved to the USA and settled down with his daughter from his first marriage and lived there until he was 88 years.

Jonas liked to smoke his pipe, but he was envious of the Indians when they showed him their small tobacco plantations.
After a while, gave him a friendly indian some tobacco plants and showed how they would be planted.
It did not take long before Jonas harvested tobacco from his own tobacco crop.
He picked the finest leaves, dried them well and grind them countless times on his old coffee grinder.


The croft is completely wiped out when the Jonas family was probably the last accommodation on site.
