Gustave Mursu (Finish last name) changed to "Morris" for English translation was a Iron Ore miner in Michigan and died from Pulmonary Tuberculosis leaving his children to his brother and oldest daughter Helia to raise. He was married to Sophia Taskella and she passed away in 1912 leaving him with the children. They are both immigrants from Finland leaving from Belfast, Ireland in the 1890's to start a new life in the United States. They spoke "Finnish" around the family and my mother told me it was a fascinating language.
