Miner from Finland, Veteli


Hey!
I am from Finland. My grandgrandfather Juho Oskari Tikkakoski worked in mine of Mercur. He lived there with his wife Josefiina and three children Urho, Signe and Oiva. I have picture of little child in coffin, who died there in 1905. She is buried there. Soon after that they moved back to Finland. In Finland they had six children and Hilja Siviä, who died.

Wishes, Erja Koskela, Finland, Kokkola
