In those years (the first half of the 19th century), the coach and mail line "Budapest-Kosice-Lviv" passed through Uzhhorod. Fedir Feketa was born in 1789 and died on March 18, 1839. According to the recollections of his fellow villagers, he slipped once while crossing a pond and fell into the cold water: he caught a cold and died of pneumonia. In his honor at the local church in the village. Turya Remeta has a memorial plaque with the inscription: "Fedor Feketa. In Memory of Friendship. Sobriety, Honesty and Service of the Ambassador".
