Noteringar |
- When Sakari was called into service he responded to the names of Sakari Konstenius as well as Sakari Hurula. He was told he had better decide what he was to be called. His portion of the old Konstenius estate was called Tuomaniemi (the old family name plus niemimeaning a cape or promontory.) He decided therefore to adopt the name of Tuomaranta as some other non-related family was using the Tuoma name. Ranta means shore so he became the Tuoma living on the shore. Sakais memories in his life story, ''The Two-sided Fence,''included the long march he was on to the Arctic Ocean as a soldierhis preaching to Russian prisoners, his years of service in civic posts, and his trip by air to the United States when he was in his 70's to visit children of his brother Erik Emil and his half-sister Sofia Johanna Mantyla. He had a strong voice for singing even to the end. He had problems with his eyes for many years and finally lost most of his sight.
He was 5'8'' tall. At age 28 he built his first house after borrowing a lot of money for it. Only then would he ask Lempi to marry him. During the war the family fled to Sweden from which they could see the falames from burning of their home. Sakari had left a note perhaps in German telling the soldiers they could use the home but to spare it. It is believed that some Finnish soldiers did not like that and burned the house themselves.
