Infants Suffer When
Mother Dies in Well

Recently Julio Lukkarinen, crofter
or small farmer in the village Of
Askola in Kilhtelysvaara, Finland,
went to Aglajarvi to do numbering
work. He left at home besides his
wife their three daughters, the eldest
about six years, and the youngest
one year old. A little later the wife
while drawing water from a well fell
headlong in and could not get out.
The children being left alone and UNI
protected, the cottage became colder
and colder. Only on the fourth day was
the oldest girl successful in making
a fire In the fireplace. Then she melted
snow in a pot and mixed rye meal
with the water. With this the chill
dren kept themselves alive. There
were six cows in the cowshed, but
they got neither food nor water. On
the sixth day a neighbours wife went
to find out why she had seen no sign
of life from Lukkarinen's cottage. In
the yard she found the frozen corpse
of Mrs. Lukkarinen with her head
up to the shoulders in the well. Of
the children all were half frozen and
half starved.
