acc. to family records....Came via Oslo to NY on 4/14/1913 on the ship Baltic ... in to Conneaut, OH, a friend had come earlier and suggested he come there. Emil left Finland because he did not want to serve in the Russian army. Worked as tailor part-time in Finland, and as a farmer..they had two cows. He worked for Lake Shore Gas company in Ohio. The rest of the family came in 1916, after Justiina died.
Sponsored for citizenship by Ash. Harbor bar owner named Minkkinen -death by ruptured stomach ulcer (possibly cirrosis).
The only picture of him as an adult is the family photo. Acc. to 1918 work permit he was 5 ft. 7 in tall, 148 lbs, blue eyes, light brown hair, and occupation was “car repairer”
He was a member of the Modern Woodmen of America and the Autaja Lodge
Jennie Erickson (at the memorial meeting): “never saw him drunk” ..I had asked about Minkkinen’s bar, “looked stern with his mustache, but was a kind, gentle man” “had oatmeal for breakfast every morning, because Maria was cooking it every night”
acc to Ellis Island web site, Emil Henrik Westerinen, age 27, came there on June 19, 1909 from Konginkangas, Finland via the ship St. Louis out of Southhampton. Perhaps this was not his first entry. but I could find none earlier. Acc to Ellis Island records he also arrived 13 apr 1913 on the Baltic from Liverpool, age 31.
