    in 1935 a monument to the grave of officer Jonas Stapulionis was built, depicting a cannon. J. Stapulionis, an artillery officer from the village of Gustonii, died in a battle with the Poles near Kapčiamiestis in 1920. in autumn in 1995 in the basement of the monument, next to his brother, the remains of legendary Joniškėlis partisan "death battalion" leader Antanas Stapulionis, brought from Boston (USA), were buried. During the Soviet era, the monument was abandoned, but remained intact, in 1990. its former image was restored by restorers. The restoration works of the monument are financed by the Department of Cultural Heritage and the municipality of Pasvalis district, and are carried out by the top category restorer Kęstutis Norkūnas.
