Before his name was Kinnunen and the family came from about fifteen kilometers farther from the Hietaniemi’s place which is only three kilometers from the village church. He was a black smith as well as as farmer. His nick name was ‘Hieta-seppa” ( Hieta-smith). You can still find the keys he made for the church door in the church in Perho and in the granary which is in the yard.
