Eugene's escape from a sometimes chaotic home was music.

Whenever he would hear the tense, raised voices of an early argument he would flee to the piano and play and play and play.

However, on the day of his 12th birthday it was Iliana Dorothea who played on the piano in order to entertain the guests.

It was attended, as always, by most of the Olafssons and their descendants.

Eugene Anifas had grown into a handsome teenager, who looked so much like his father.

And, being the second oldest, he was set to follow in his father's footsteps.

With his days of being a student behind him he was now expected to assist his father in his day-to-day tasks as a bell-ringer.

Each morning he was told what to expect, and he would follow obediently along.

He tried his best to please.

To be a quick learner, polite and well-informed at all times.

But a lot of his people-pleasing ways were born out of fear.

Fear that any mistake he might make could set his father off. He had seen what had happened to both Émile and Theodore when his father had been angry, and it gnawed at him.

Sometimes Eugene wondered if he feared his father more than he loved him.

His only escape was his oldest - music.

His passion had not died down when growing older, in fact it had only increased.

His favourite part of every week was Sundays, when he would be allowed to play on the pipe organ during mass.

With his fingers on the keys his worries would fade away, until there was only the tones of the organ and the songs of the congregation left.

Carnegie Hall’s New Season: Here’s What We Want to Hear

The classical music world has been changing, and some of those shifts will be felt at Carnegie Hall.

Carnegie announced Tuesday that next season would feature the Berlin Philharmonic’s first concerts at the hall under its new chief conductor, Kirill Petrenko; the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra’s first with its music director, Mirga Grazinyte-Tyla; and the Carnegie debut of Teodor Currentzis and the orchestra he founded, MusicAeterna.

“With the orchestras, there are a huge number of firsts,” Clive Gillinson, the hall’s executive and artistic director, said in an interview.

Rhiannon Giddens, the singer, songwriter, banjo player and musical polymath, will be featured in a Perspectives series in which she will trace the connections between popular and classical songs, team up with other banjo players to explore the experience of African-American women and delve into the complicated history of minstrelsy.

Jordi Savall, the early-music specialist and viola da gamba virtuoso, and Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the music director of the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Metropolitan Opera, will also be featured in series. A festival called “Voices of Hope: Artists in Times of Oppression” will explore musical responses to injustice, and Andrew Norman will hold the Richard and Barbara Debs Composer’s Chair.

Among dozens of offerings, what to hear? This is the best of the best: the performances we at The New York Times are most looking forward to.

Los Angeles Philharmonic, Oct. 7-9

There are three opportunities to hear Gustavo Dudamel conduct the West Coast’s leading ensemble at Carnegie this fall, in the orchestra’s first hall appearance in 30 years. The season-opening gala on Oct. 7 features a brief John Adams fanfare, Grieg (Lang Lang playing the Piano Concerto) and more Grieg (selections from “Peer Gynt”); Oct. 9 brings Mahler’s Sixth Symphony. But in between is the most promising program, with two New York premieres: a curtain-raiser by the young composer Gabriella Smith and Andrew Norman’s Violin Concerto (with the always-fascinating Leila Josefowicz), with the gentle chaser of Ginastera’s “Estancia.” JOSHUA BARONE

City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Oct. 23-24

Conducting sensation Mirga Grazinyte-Tyla and her orchestra, which is celebrating its centenary this year, give two concerts that perfectly showcase their tastes and flair for programming. One adeptly balances the familiar with the new and unusual, with Ravel’s “La Valse” and Debussy’s “La Mer” framing Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s Violin Concerto and Thomas Adès’s “Angel Symphony,” which they will premiere this spring. The other focuses on British music, with Tippett’s oratorio “A Child of Our Time” following Sheku Kanneh-Mason as the soloist in Elgar’s Cello Concerto. DAVID ALLEN

MusicAeterna, Nov. 4

One of the great stories in classical music over the past decade has been how the Greek-born, Russian-trained conductor Teodor Currentzis formed his own idiosyncratic orchestra in Siberia, garnering a Sony recording contract and triumphing around the world. Their American debut last year at the Shed was one of the major events of the cultural year, and now Currentzis and the orchestra will bring their blistering intensity to Carnegie, with Tchaikovsky’s “Pathétique” Symphony and the Adagio from Mahler’s Symphony No. 10. MICHAEL COOPER

American Composers Orchestra, Nov. 5

As part of Andrew Norman’s composing residency, this ensemble presents the New York premiere of “Begin,” a chamber-orchestra piece first heard in Los Angeles last year. The rest of the program is just as tantalizing, with world premieres by Ellen Reid, Jane Meenaghan and George Lewis. SETH COLTER WALLS

Jordi Savall, Nov. 5 and 9

Four days after Mr. Savall leads his period-instrument orchestra Le Concert des Nations and vocal ensemble La Capella Reial de Catalunya in Monteverdi’s glorious Vespers in Carnegie’s main auditorium, he’ll bring those groups downstairs, to the more intimate Zankel Hall, for Monteverdi’s complete “Madrigals of War and Love,” a rare chance to hear a collection of genre-blurring pieces that altered music history. ANTHONY TOMMASINI

Lise Davidsen, Nov. 12

In the wake of feverish hype in the opera world, the Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen made her Metropolitan Opera debut this fall in Tchaikovsky’s “The Queen of Spades” and, if anything, surpassed the high expectations. Her silvery voice had both thrilling power and nuanced expressivity. It will be fascinating to hear her in a recital setting; with the pianist James Baillieu, she sings works by Grieg, Mahler, Berg (“Seven Early Songs”) and Wagner (“Wesendonck Lieder”). ANTHONY TOMMASINI

Berlin Philharmonic, Nov. 18-20

When I went to Berlin last year for Kirill Petrenko’s debut concerts as the Philharmonic’s chief conductor, I was struck by the excitement he generated among its players. Now New Yorkers will be able to judge for themselves. This program, featuring the great dramatic soprano Nina Stemme singing Brünnhilde’s Immolation Scene from Wagner’s “Götterdämmerung,” gives him a chance to show off his operatic chops, which he honed during a memorable run at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich. (In a rarity for Carnegie, this program is played twice, on Nov. 18 and 20; on the 19th, the Philharmonic performs Webern, Mendelssohn and Brahms.) MICHAEL COOPER

Ksenija Sidorova, Feb. 3

The Carnegie lineup is full of superb voices, violinists, pianists — the meat and potatoes of classical music. So less conventional instruments pop out, like the accordion played by this Latvian virtuoso. “Revelatory,” according to my colleague James R. Oestreich, Ms. Sidorova will perform arrangements of Bach, Mozart and Tchaikovsky alongside works tailor-made for accordion by Sofia Gubaidulina, Alfred Schnittke and others. ZACHARY WOOLFE

Louisville Orchestra, Feb. 20

Go ahead and call the Louisville Orchestra a “regional” (as opposed to “major”) ensemble. That’s a meaningless distinction for the many people excited by the adventurous programs the dynamic young conductor Teddy Abrams and his excellent players have been giving. For example, the concert they will present at Carnegie will offer Andrew Norman’s “Sacred Geometry,” Copland’s “Appalachian Spring” (with dancers from Louisville Ballet) and Jim James’s song cycle “The Order of Life,” performed with its composer, a Louisville native and the leader of the rock band My Morning Jacket. ANTHONY TOMMASINI

Boston Symphony Orchestra, April 14

For all my worries about the direction that the Boston Symphony has taken under its music director, Andris Nelsons, there have been two pluses during his tenure so far: his Shostakovich survey (steadily being released on record to considerable acclaim) and his opera. A Shostakovich opera, then, ought to come off well, especially this composer’s best, “Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk.” The soprano Kristine Opolais is scheduled as Katerina, with Brandon Jovanovich as Sergey. DAVID ALLEN

Mark Padmore and Mitsuko Uchida, April 16

The tenor Mark Padmore once told me he was reminded of all the words for “rehearsal” when working with the pianist Mitsuko Uchida: “In French, ‘répétition,’ which speaks for itself; in German, ‘probe’ — proving or trying. In English, it has nothing to do with hearing. Its etymology is to till the earth in preparation for seed. Working with Mitsuko, all three of those things, those attitudes to rehearsing, are absolutely present.” Now imagine how they’ll sound in “Dichterliebe” and other Schumann works. JOSHUA BARONE

Alexandre Tharaud, April 18

This is, as always, a good season for piano recitals at Carnegie, with Vikingur Olafsson, Daniil Trifonov, Igor Levit and Jean-Yves Thibaudet all making solo appearances worthy of anticipation. But Mr. Tharaud’s program is particularly intriguing. It bridges the gap between the French Baroque — Couperin, Rameau and the more obscure composers Jean-Henri d’Anglebert and Joseph-Nicolas-Pancrace Royer — and the French early 20th century, with works by Ravel and Reynaldo Hahn that will benefit from this artist’s sensual grace. ZACHARY WOOLFE

Met Orchestra, June 10

It’s been many years since the great mezzo-soprano Waltraud Meier last sang at Carnegie, which makes her return with this superb ensemble — freed from its Lincoln Center pit after the opera season ends — a true event. Wagner’s lush “Wesendonck Lieder” is on the agenda, conducted by Semyon Bychkov, who fills out the evening leading Shostakovich’s “Leningrad” Symphony. ZACHARY WOOLFE

Fantastic Beast And Where To Find Them 2 Sẽ Có Thêm Nhân Vật Phản Diện Mới

Dàn diễn viên của Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them 2 vừa kết nạp thêm một thành viên nữa, được biết vai diễn của diễn viên này sẽ là một nhân vật phản diện hoàn toàn mới.

Như chúng ta đã biết, Fatastic Beast and Where to Find Them 2 đã được bấm máy vào giữa tháng 7 vừa qua, những hình ảnh đầu tiên trên phim trường của bộ phim cũng xuất hiện và được chia sẻ từ cuối tháng trước, điều này cũng đồng nghĩa với việc tin tức về bộ phim sẽ xuất hiện nhiều hơn nữa. Theo như thông tin mới nhất thì nam diễn viên mang 2 dòng máu Đan Mạch và Nhật Bản – David Sakurai vừa chính thức được chọn cho vai diễn phản diện mới trong phần phim này, được biết nhân vật này sẽ có mối liên hệ với tên phù thủy hắc ám Grindlewald (Do Johny Depp thủ vai). Vẫn chưa rõ rằng David Sakura đã bắt đầu quá trình quay phim hay chưa và quá trình sản xuất sẽ được dự tính kéo dài trong bao lâu. Hiện nay nam diễn viên David Sakura đã xuất hiện trong series Iron Fist trên kênh Netflix, nhân vật của anh là Scythe, anh cũng sẽ xuất hiện trong 2 dự án khác được lên song trong thời gian tới là Acts of Vegeance và Unbroken: Path to Redemption.

David Sakurai được chọn để vào vai Krall - một nhân vật phản diện mới

Tin tức này được đăng tải trên tờ Deadline vào sáng ngày hôm nay, theo tờ báo này thì nhân vật mà David Sakurai thủ vai có tên là Krall. Nhân vật này được miêu tả như “ một trong những tay sai tham vọng và u uất nhất của tên phù thủy hắc ám Gellert Grindlewald. Bộ phim sẽ được lấy bối cảnh vào năm 1927, chỉ một vài tháng sau khi các sự kiện trong Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them vừa kết thúc, Sau khi nhà nghiên cứu sinh vật huyền bí Newt Scamander (do Eddie Redmayne thủ vai) phát hiện ra Grindlwald và giúp bắt MACUSA bắt giữ hắn, Grindlewald đã thề hắn sẽ trốn thoát, và nội dung của phần 2 sẽ liên quan đến việc này. Để ngăn chặn tên phù thủy nguy hiểm, Albus Dumbledore (phiên bản trẻ do Jude Law thủ vai) sẽ cùng hợp sức với Newt Scamander.

Nam tài tử Jude Law sẽ hóa thân thành Dumbledore hồi trẻ

Hồi tháng 6 vừa rồi, nhà sản xuất cũng đã thông báo rằng bộ phim sẽ cần cả Dumbledore trong độ tuổi teen nữa, dù vậy vẫn chưa rõ là nhân vật này đã tìm được diễn viên hay chưa. Danh sách nhân vật sẽ xuất hiện trong phần này cũng sẽ gồm có nhân vật anh trai của Newt Scamader do Callam Turner thủ vai, Leta Lestrange – mối tình đầu của Newt do Xoe Kravitz cũng sẽ xuất hiện trong phần phim này, bên cạnh đó Katherine Waterston cũng sẽ quay trở lại với vai diễn Auror Tina Goldstein và Alison Sudol trong vai Queenie Goldstein, anh chàng thợ làm bánh dân “No-Maj” dễ thương Jacob Kowalski do Dan Fogler cũng sẽ xuất hiện. Song song với các nhân vật cũ thì nhiều nhân vật mới cũng sẽ được giới thiệu trong phần phim thứ 2 này ví dụ như: nữ diễn viên gốc Hàn Quốc Claudia Kim sẽ vào vai một cô gái trẻ bị hấp dẫn bởi những gánh xiếc của pháp sưm Olafur Darri Olafsson trong vai Skender – người chủ gánh xiếc, Ingvar Sigurdsson trong vai một tay săn tiền thưởng , Willian Nadylam trong vai một phù thủy mới tên Yusuf Kama và Kevin Guthrie trong vai Abernathy – người đứng đầu của cơ quan pháp thuật Mỹ. Các địa điểm trong mà các sự kiện của phim xảy ra sẽ được đặt ở Anh và Paris, và các cảnh quay cũng đã được thực hiện ở các địa điểm này, ngoài ra thì có vẻ như nội dung phim cũng sẽ có một số nội dung sẽ xảy ra ở Mỹ, trừ trường hợp nhân vật Abernathy sẽ ra nước ngoài.

Hâu hết các nhân vật ở phần phim trước đều quay trở lại trong phần 2

Đạo diễn của phần phim đầu tiên – David Yates cũng sẽ quay trở lại để đảm vị trí đạo diễn cho Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them 2, kịch bản sẽ được chính tay nhà văn J.K. Rowling soạn thảo và sáng tác. David Heyman, J.K. Rowling, Steve Kloes và Lionel Wigram sẽ tham gia vào quá trình sản xuất của bộ phim, Tim Lewism Neil Blair, Rick Senat và Danny Cohen sẽ chịu trách nhiệm là những nhà điều hành quá trình sản xuất. Phần phim này sẽ được quay tại phim trường của hãng Warner Bros – Warner Bros Studio Leavesden – ngôi nhà của thế giới phép thuật kỳ ảo và huyền diệu, cả 9 bộ phim có liên quan đến Harry Potter đều được quay tại đây kể từ phần phim đầu tiên của Harry Potter được bấm máy. Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them 2 sẽ có mặt tại các rạp chiếu phim kể từ ngày 16 tháng 11 năm 2018, bộ phim sẽ đối đầu trực tiếp với Widows – bộ phim hình sự, giật gân của hãng 20th Century Fox với sự tham gia diễn xuất của Viola Davis.

Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them là một trong những dự án được mong chờ nhất trong năm 2018

Hợp tác làm việc với đạo diễn David Yates là một đội ngũ sáng tạo đầy tài năng bao gồm các tên tuổi lớn trong ngành điện ảnh, và dành rất nhiều giải thưởng danh giá như đạo diễn hình ảnh Philippe Rousselot – người thắng tượng vàng Oscar cho hạng mục đạo diễn hình ảnh xuất sắc nhất; người ba lần thắng giải Oscar cho hạng mục thiết kế sản xuất xuất sắc nhất – Stuart Craig; người đã chiến thắng 3 giải BAFTA - biên tập Mark Day; nhà thiết kế trang phuc 4 lần đoạt giải Oscar – Colleen Atwood; nhà giám sát hiệu ứng hình ảnh đã từng chiến thắng giải Oscar – Tim Burke và Christian Manz – người từng nhận được đề cử cho hạng mục giám sát hiệu ứng hình ảnh tại giải Oscar.

Ulf's funeral was held not too long after his passing.

The weather that day shifted between bouts of cold sunlight and even colder rain.

He was buried near the rest of his family, near his brother Karl and only a few steps away from his parents and Signhild.

The funeral was attended by as many Olafssons that could come.

Constantine and Théodora brought all of their children to say goodbye to their grandfather, except for Émile Gustaf who was in Stockholm.

Rosalie and Lukas left their baby daughter to be watched by a family friend so they could travel over for the funeral and spend a few days with her family.

And, of course, Ulf's surviving siblings attended as well. Out of so many there was now only Viola, Josef and Vilhelm left, and they all felt the absence of their oldest brother immensely.

Last of all attendants, but not least, was Inés.

Poor, widowed Inés remained surprisingly calm during the length of the funeral, only standing silently and looking at her husband's tombstone.

Despite the ups and downs of their marriage she had loved him fiercely, and the last years had given them a happy and peaceful marriage.

Although she did not wail or cry with anguish, she felt the loss of her husband deeply and bitterly.

As she watched the cold, damp stone that now marked where he lay, she could only tell herself one thing:

She would be there for all her family twice as much, for his sake.

.

Rest in Peace Ulf Olafsson

1722 - 1776

Father to Théodora, Constantine, Teresa and Rosalie.

The illness continued to ravage Åland and its surroundings.

Helga Rosdal née Olafsson, daughter to Jonas, and her husband David were struck by the disease.

Helga's life was taken by the illness, leaving her husband David as the sole caretaker of their young sons Beau and Per.

And not too long thereafter two of the Park children fell ill.

Eugene Anifas and Charles Elias became sick at more or less the same time, and Théo fretted endlessly over her young sons.

Thankfully, in the end the illness was merciful, and both boys recovered just fine.

While they now bore scars they hadn't before, neither seemed particularly bothered by it, and were soon back to their cheerful old ways.

But that didn't mean the sickness was done taking lives...

Rosalida Bryggare née Olafsson, 42 years old, was the last family member of the Olafssons to lose her life to the illness.

Her heir, Ingmar, was 17 years old.

She was buried near the rest of her family, and her funeral was attended by all of her living children, siblings, nieces and nephews.

That autumn struck many as one of endless funerals for all those whose lives were claimed by the illness.

.

Rest in Peace Rosalida Bryggare née Olafsson

1731 - 1773

Mother to Ida, Ingmar, Samuel, Erik & Edvard.

Rest in Peace Helga Rosdal née Olafsson

1751 - 1773

Mother to Beau & Per

Rest in Peace Sara Olafsson

1767 - 1773

Rest in Peace Adam Otalbo

Rest in Peace Noah Davidsson

Half a year after Constantine's wedding, in 1771, it was time for Eugene Anifas' fifth birthday.

It was a bittersweet time, of course, seeing as how the memory of Carl Frederic loomed over the celebrations, but Théo tried her very best to make sure that Eugene Anifas would have nothing but happy memories from the day.

Eugene Anifas had grown into a happy and healthy young boy, who looked a lot like his father had at that age despite the blond hair and green eyes.

And even though Théo tried so, so hard not to think about it - she couldn't help but wonder how similar to his father Carl Frederic might have been, given the tufts of brown hair he had before passing.

One of the first things Eugene Anifas did after his birthday party was to sit down by the piano in the front hall.

Growing up in a family where music was a popular activity he had always been curious about it, but had until now not been allowed to play it on his own.

The wedding between Constantine Olafsson, 25, and Britta de Monet, 24, was held that same summer in 1770.

Their wedding day couldn't have been more perfect.

It was the height of summer, and there were enough flowers to go around for all of the decorations for the party.

The wedding celebration was attened by as many members of the Olafsson clan as possible, and even some people from the village who were not related to the Olafssons such as Father Isaiah.

The celebrations went on until late in the evening, with drinking, dance and music keeping everyone entertained.

All who attended said that they thought the couple looked absolutely smitten with each other, and that they all were very happy on their behalf.

During Théodora's pregnancy a happy occassion came when it was time for Rosalie's 18th birthday.

Inés made sure to throw a huge celebration, and family from far and wide were invited.

Another wave of Uppsala Fever had been going around the island that same year, but thankfully the family had suffered no losses and none of the attendees were ill.

Such as cousins Ingmar Bryggare and Karolina Otalbo née Karlsson.

Both of whom had married someone that same year.

Although in Ingmar's case it was the case of a rushed wedding following a scandal, which the family politely chose not to mention.

Or cousins Helga and Karl Olafsson, who had travelled all the way from the farm in the south and who both remained unmarried.

As well as cousins the birthday celebration was of course attended by as many aunts and uncles of Rosalie as possible.

Even Vilhelm managed to get time off work so that he could come and congratulate his dear niece.

Josef was also in attendance, although he had not been able to bring his oldest daughter Anna to the occassion.

She had been involved in a scandal after having two illegitimate children, and societal standards demanded she be forced to stay away.

Still, aside from topics such as Anna or Ingmar's early marriage, the occassion was a happy one and everyone mingled enthusiastically among themselves.

Rosalie had grown into a very beautiful young woman, who bore a strong resemblence to both of her parents in differing ways.

She was, as always, a very polite and proper young woman. Although the sadder events of the past decade had definitely left her with a more gloomy disposition compared to that of her other siblings.

Historical Info

This is essentially the same info from the previous Historical Info post that focused on Uppsala Fever. If you've read that one then there's no new info here, sorry ^w^''

Uppsala Fever (named after the city Uppsala in Sweden (where my step-grandma lives! :D)) was the name of a fever disease that from time to time swept through Sweden and Åland.

It usually struck during autumns from August until October.

The primary symptoms were fever and exhaustion.

It is believed that Uppsala Fever was actually usually typhoid fever or malaria, although we can't ever really be sure.

There were many different diseases that affected the populace that would come and go intermittently and who all had somewhat similar symptoms and various infection and death rates.

In the summer of 1779 Viola Olafsson passed away, leaving her four daughters behind.

Sadly her adopted daughter Aurora had moved far away, and was unable to attend the funeral.

The funeral was held in the local church, and Viola was buried next to her late husband Abraham Nilsson.

Her oldest daughter, Karolina, was now left as the inheritor of the family - in charge of taking care of her daughter Anna and three younger sisters.

While supporting a family as a widowed woman was not an easy task, Karolina had the support of the rest of her relatives behind her.

Josef and Vilhelm, both heartbroken at the loss of their older sister, were more than willing to help her in financial matters.

Still, the loss of the second oldest daughter to Ingmar Olafsson was a bitter blow to everyone, and she would be greatly missed.

Shortly after the wedding disaster struck, as smallpox had once again reached the islands.

First to fall ill was Rosalie, only a few weeks into her new marriage.

While the sickness was horrible and unpleasant, she thankfully recovered with no lasting side effects.

Not too long after Rosalie fell ill, so did Anna Davidsson's husband Noah and her daughter Sara.

Where Rosalie had been lucky, Noah and Sara were not.

Both died within a few days of each other.

Elsewhere on the island Viola's family was struck by the disease as well.

Within a short amount of time of each other Birgitta, highly pregnant Karolina and Karolina's husband Adam all fell ill.

Out of all of them only Adam passed away, although Birgitta was permanently blinded.

The reach of the illness went further than just the Åland islands.

In Stockholm the disease raged as well, and while Émile Gustaf was immune after his previous experience with the illness as a small child, the family he was staying with was not.

Only Émile and the youngest child Linnea were left unaffected by the illness, as the rest of the Bergvall family one by one fell ill.

Like many others, the Bergvall family were not spared from the grim touch of death that year.

Karl-Johan and Carola both passed away.

Historical Info

Note: If you have read the smallpox history that was posted last time smallpox struck the islands, then you have already read all the info I am able to provide on the subject for the time being.

Smallpox was a horrific disease that has killed millions of people throughout history.

I’ll try to keep the gory details to a minimum, but if you’ve got a strong stomach then I recommend this video which explores the symptoms of smallpox in closer detail than I will be doing here.

Smallpox was a highly infectious disease that has plagued humanity for thousands of years.

The earliest evidence of it was found on mummies from 3rd century BCE in Egypt, and it was declared eradicated in 1980. So it was around for a while.

Smallpox typically began with fever, back and muscle aches, headaches and vomiting and nausea. Shortly after the first symptoms appear the affected will start to develop raised, pus-filled spots (aka pustules) with a crater-like indent in the middle. Typically the pustules first start in the mouth, and can spread into the throath and nose of the sick.

About 3 in 10 people who got smallpox died, and those who survived would develop pitted scars (pockmarks) and sometimes become infertile or blind.

It was more common for children and babies to succumb to the disease, but older people definitely got sick and died too. All in all the disease was horrific and merciless, and it’s a huge relief that we’ve eradicated it.

In the spring of 1764 a deadly disease reached Åland's shores.

Outbreaks of smallpox was spreading through Sweden and Finland, and soon enough it had reached Åland too.

The first member of the extended Olafsson family to fall ill was Viola's husband Abraham.

The disease was merciless, and within two weeks he was dead.

He was one of the first to be buried that year due to smallpox at the village cemetary. He would not be the last.

His death was expetionally cruel, as he and Viola had only a few months earlier had a daughter named Victoria.

Thankfully the infant somehow escaped the clutches of the illness.

Shortly after Abraham's funeral both Rosalida and Josef's children became ill from smallpox.

It took a huge toll on the children, and Rosalida lost one of her sons, Samuel, to the disease. Thankfully the rest of the children survived.

Further away the illness was rampaging through Jonas's village as well, and him, his wife and oldest son all fell ill from the disease.

They survived, although Jonas' wife was permanently blinded in one eye.

At the same time as the illness rampaged through Théodora's extended family, not too long after Abraham's funeral, Markus began to feel poorly.

Everyone's fears came true when the telltale signs of smallpox began to erupt against his skin, and he was soon bedridden from the disease.

After killing many all around the islands, smallpox had arrived at the Park family's doorstep.

Historical Info

A note: I didn't plan for this to come out around the same time as the world is having outbreaks of monkey pox (historically in 1764 & -65 Åland suffered outbreaks of smallpox), and I hope everyone is safe and okay.

Smallpox, smallpox, smallpox.... What is there to say of smallpox?

Well, a lot as it turns out.

Smallpox was a horrific disease that has killed millions of people throughout history.

I'll try to keep the gory details to a minimum, but if you've got a strong stomach then I recommend this video which explores the symptoms of smallpox in closer detail than I will be doing here.

In my next post the historical info will examine how people tried to treat smallpox at the time.

In the winter of 1761 it was time for Teresa to turn 12.

This occassion warranted a huge celebration, and the family got together to invite everyone and prepare a collection of food for all the guests.

The party was, as most Olafsson get-togethers are, full of people and brimming with laughter and conversations.

The family naturally split up into smaller groups, all having their separate but simultaneous discussions.

Eventually it was time for Teresa to blow out her candles and officially leave the earlier part of her childhood behind.

Out of all of the children thus far, Teresa was perhaps the one who looked most like her mother.

While Inés was gone, Ulf missed her a great deal.

More than he had, perhaps, expected to.

These feelings were reinforced when Viola announced that she was getting married to a man named Abraham Nilsson.

Abraham, a merchant and sailor, had been ferrying Josef's wares before Josef, Ulf and Jonas bought a boat of their own.

And while Josef no longer worked with Abraham in that capacity the two had remained friends, and as such Viola had gotten to meet Abraham a lot.

Finally, in the autumn of 1759, Viola Olafsson, 35, married Abraham Nilsson, 29.

Since the two were (as far as the village knew) both entering their second marriage the celebrations were a bit subdued, and the couple were quick to move out to Abraham's home.

Abraham had a daughter, Aurora, from a previous marriage, and Viola felt very happy to think Karolina would get a step-sister.

While Ulf was very happy for his sister, it pained him greatly to see her so happy and in love while his wife was away.

At the end of Inés' stay he was feeling very lonely and quite sorry for himself.
