Isaac was the son of Isaac and Christina Mattiraia Nisula from Finland and immigrated about 1902 from Canada. He was a miner. Isaac was married to Freda Hasenen on 19 June 1908 in Bessemser, and they had a son, Edward. Isaac was killed instantaneously in a fall of ground at the age of 29 years 6 months and 10 days.
Contributor: Kevin D Struensee (47743074) • I realize the death record gives the spelling as "Nissula" but, as was common with the spellings of the names of immigrants, that was an error. Nisula is the correct spelling. He married in June of 1908 in Wakefield to Frieda Raisanen and on that record his name is given as Nisula (I always say it's safer to believe a record that was recorded when the person was alive and healthy rather than a record of a person who was dead and had no say in how things were spelled, and it is likely that Frieda could not speak English or at least not very well, at the time of his death). After Isaac's death Frieda went on to marry Matt Maki. Frieda and Isaac's son, "Eddie", was born in September of 1908 and he later took the Maki name, that being his stepfather's surname.
