About the author

Kaarlo Hemmo was the pen name of Kaarlo Herman Tiihonen, a Finnish journalist and author. He was born on October 7, 1858, in Rautalampi and died there on February 4, 1940.

Available reference records describe him as a writer and journalist who lived in Rautalampi and published under the name Kaarlo Hemmo. The surviving information found here is brief, but it places him among the regional literary voices who contributed to Finnish writing during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Because easily accessible biographical material is limited, many personal details about his career are not well documented in the sources reviewed for this page. Even so, his preserved author record shows a long life closely tied to Rautalampi and a lasting place in Finland's bibliographic history.
