March I try to write names like they were written in Finland ( there are several alternatives And the old obit: Peter J.Huhta Suoningi (Suoninki) born in Ylitornio (in Sweeden side) year 1846 so he was 79 year, 5 months and 26 days old when he died. He had living three boys and five girls, 3 daughters-of-law, 5 sons-in-law ,children's children have 33 children and they have 4 children (so Peter was gggfather) and also his sisters children who live in this country and Finland and his (In Finland Herra writen like this is God) liquorhill 's(viina=liquor and mäki=hill, and word was writen with small character, so it is not a placename, and I don't know what is it) workers. The last days he spent with son-in-law Mr and Mrs Pyykkönen on Chassell, Houghton Co.Michigan. His earthly wandering stopped (he died) 8.November 1925. Sleep peacefully after hard workhistory. Suoningi is it homeplace in Finland ? There are couple places in Finland like Suomenniemi, Suonenjoki those are very difficult to you say and read so I belive that places like that got "new name" in America. And that viinamäki with workes that is very odd, I don't know what is it. Perhaps placename. Tuula K
