She was born in 1920 and I have many of her pictures from the 30's and 40's(she went to oregon in 1949. Eleanor Makela was one of her friends who is in many pictures. I think there is a Helen or Hilma Ketturi? My mother was the youngest in her family, her parents were John and Tillie Isaacson. I will have to look it up. I actually think one of the Ketturi girls was one of my mother's best friends.Hilma? Do you want me to send pictures? I have a lot of the names on them. My mother died in 1980, but thankfully I asked her about the pictures in 1977 and we went through and put names on most all of them. Only a few had names on them before that...so I would have been at a loss as to who was who! My mother's sisters names were Laina, Verna, Helen, Lydia, and Alma. Her brothers were Art and Gusti(Johnny). Laina died a few years ago and Verna died in the 1990's. The rest died ear! lier. My mother's aunt, Mae Moilanen, was still alive but in a nursing home in Hancock as of a couple years ago. I did write to her and her niece wrote back, but I haven't written her in quite a while so I don't know how she is. She would be in her 90's. Most of their family is buried in Laminga cemetary.I live in oregon, but I did go there once in 1977, to Beacon Hill, Laminga, and Hancock. Beautiful area.
