Monument Commemorating the Jeon Gi-pil

The harvest was so severe that the villagers could not afford to eat. At this time, a rich man named Jeon Jeon-pil survived the famine by giving away hundreds of pounds of his grain as relief food. The government appointed him to the position of Gaeseondaebu, and residents erected a monument in 1840 to commemorate his contributions. Later, in 1942, the monument was erected by Jeon Seung-han, a descendant of the woodworker. A monument to death is a monument on which certain facts are written so that future generations will not forget them. Since he did a lot of good to the village people and saved their lives, the monument to the villagers must have been erected as a token of gratitude.
