Biography

Johan Gabriel Ståhlberg, nicknamed Janne, was born on 23 October 1832, in

principal.[2]

Amanda Gustafva Castrén (1841–1907), the wife of Ståhlberg

After the marriage, on 12 February 1862, the Ståhlbergs moved to

Carl Johan, were born in Suomussalmi.[1] In Carl's year of birth, the family moved to Alavieska. Johan Gabriel Ståhlberg received a power of attorney for the position of chaplain in Alavieska on 1 November 1865.[4] In the same year, the election of the Alavieska cantor was also held. Peter Päivärinta was also among the candidates, and he was nominated for the first election, but Kusti Heikinpoika Schwartzberg was elected. The following year, on 30 November 1866, Ståhlberg had another son, Fredrik.[1][2]

In Alavieska, the pastor had to see the severity of years of disappearance and great years of famine. The task of a shepherd in a small congregation became heavy. He promised the election of the vicar of the Haapajärvi parish to an extra electorate. Pastor Gustav Leonard Mecklin from Kiuruvesi was nominated for the first election and chaplain Joonas Christian Castrén from Alakiiminki for the second election. The protocol "förof vid kapellens valet i Haapajärvi Moderkyrka" on 14 February 1869 shows that Ståhlberg was chosen as the overwhelming winner: he received about 18½ mantles from the votes cast.[2] Chaplain Castrén received about 2½ mantles and Pastor Mecklin just under ½ mantles. Whether the reason for the overwhelming victory was Ståhlberg's good election sermon or good singing skills as a former music school teacher. The move to Haapajärvi may also have been influenced by the election of Amanda's relative Castrén as a judge of the Haapajärvi's court. The family moved from Alavieska to Haapajärvi in the spring of 1869. On 23 July of the same year, the youngest of the children, Anna Elisabet, was born in Haapajärvi.[1][2]

During the great years of famine, more than three times the number of

rectory, of which the parishes of Pidisjärvi and Reisjärvi would also participate. The petition was not accepted, so on 21 May 1872 it was decided on the election arrangements for the pastor and the authors of the electoral list.[2]
