Finland resident has ties to Puget Island

 


To The Eagle:

Hello from Pori, Finland! By a note of my family member by name Lindwall, I saw my mom’s name in your paper in an obituary of Henry Lindwall. He was one of the three Lindwall brothers Paul, Henry and Charles, from Pori, Finland to my mother who ended up on Puget Island in early 1900.

Your paper’s post number Cathlamet WA 98612 became very familiar to me when the letters were moving between Pori, Finland to Puget Island. Understood that there was no post office on Puget Island and all the post was addressed to Cathlamet WA, through Puget Island.

Mr. Paul Lindwall lived longest of the brothers on the Island. I have visited the Island and the area a few times, very nice place looks very much like Finland.

Had to write this as it was so essential in the daily life of me and my family in Finland with the letters from Puget Island. All this took place in decades. I think there is still the house of Charles Lindwall on the Island and some other houses which have belonged to relatives. This all came to my life at the end 1947 when I was born. I wish you all the best in publishing the paper.

Kindest regards,

Paul W. Sivakka

Mikonkatu 11 B 57 28100 PORI, Finland
