MAJHANNU WAS
PROMINENT FINN


Majjhannu, who passed away Tuesday
Of last week and whose death was
mentioned in these columns, the Mar
quette Mining Journal says:
"Nels Majhannu, the first native Of
Finland 10 engage in the meractile
business in Ishpeming, died sudden
ly yesterday morning at his home in
Michigamme.. Death was due to
heart disease. Mr.. Majhannu had
been in failing health for ~czae time,
though he was abe &c 5e around as
usual.
"S'- ..eaving 1shpeming about a
7 .er Of century ago, Mr.. Maj
hannu was frequent. visitor to this
city and he was one Of the best known
Firms in the upper peninsula. Dur
ing his early residence in, this city
he was regarded as the county's
most infuentilo Finn He was in
strumental in inducing many Of the
early day Finnish people to come to
America and settle in Ishpeming.
On several occasions he went to the
old country to induce his countrymen
to come to this section, as there were
then many opportunities for en-
ployment in the mines and acquiring
Of farming lands in different parts
Of the peninsula at very reasonable
rates.
"Mr. Majhannu conducted gen.
eral mercantile business here for
some years. He also erected the
business block, corner Of Division
and First streets, now owned by A..
Kettunen, the tailor. It was on this
corner that he had his store during
the years he was in business here.
Mr.. Majhannu was also prominent in
politics, and for many years he infiu-
enced large majority Of the Finnish
votes Of Ishpeming and the surround
ing district.
"From here Mr.. Majhannu went to
Michigamme to enter in business.
His mercantile interests there in
few years passed to his son, W. j.
Majhannu, who is still in business
there. After turning over the bust
ness to his son, Mr.. Majhannu es-
tablished a Finnish colony at Her
man, where he purchased farm and
continued to make his home until a
year or so ago, when his health be-
gan to fail him, and he and Mrs.
Majhannu returned to Michigamme
to reside. For several years after
becoming established at Herman the
deceased conducted an extensive cord
wood business, having as his patrons
many Of the principal dealers Of the
iron and copper districtti.
"Mr. Majhannu was man Of kind
ly disposition and he had, large
of friends in the county. He
did a great deal toward building up
the district west of Michigamme, as
he could always see advantages in
farming and it was largely through
his efforts that many farmers set
tied in that territory.
"The deceased was about seventy
five years Of age. He is survived by
a widow and one SON."

cObble-stones resounded in the narrow
rain-drenched lanes until they halted
In the little square. Frightened eyes

dows--watched yet dreaded to see.
The Germans had taken Aerschot. As
the heavy clouds blackened into night,
the only lights were those made by the
troops in the square.
The house of Matthew There was
dark like the others.
Mother, lets light the lamp. It's
so awful here In. the dark"
mo Andre, we mustn't. Be brave
ike your brothers. See, Pierre and
Paul don't mind the dark, do you my
sons" Madam There put reasurring
arm about her youngest and felt his
shoulders stiffen.
The two boys stood with their father
at the other window.
"No, don't mind the dark but am
hungry" Pierre was two years older
than Andre, too old to fear the dark
and too young TO fear the Germans.
But Paul did not answer. He stood
with his arm locked within his fathers
and stared out grimly at the moving
silhouettes. His army had refused him
just because he was q year or 80 too
young. What dirsrsDce did age make :
He was as strong as any man and he
might have been out fighting instead
Of hiding here IN the dark.
The soldiers were stirring about and
forming into small detaehments. Their
helmets cleaned in the pickering light
Of the street lamps. A sharp order
was given.
They are coming" said Matthew
There.
Tie butt OF gun thudded on the
street door. "Come out, come out
where we can see you. Come out or
you shall feel FIRE"
"I.et us go together. II Is all that
we can DO" The father led his fam.
lily into the street.
Quickly the narrow lanes filled MS
the houses emptled-filled with people
who dared not speak aloud. "Whnt
are they going 10 do?" "Where are
we going?" "W'hat are they doing
row?" The terrified whispers qucs,
