Esko Nevalainen's Page

Hello, and welcome to the site! Are there any particular Nevalainens you're looking for? The only one I find in my records is Hanna S. Nevalainen, who was the daughter of Oskar and Tiina Nevalainen, born 23 Mar. 1896 in Nurmes, Finland, died 8 June 1985 in South Paris, Maine. She arrived in New York aboard the S.S. Olympic on 10 Sept. 1913, and lived in New York for most of her life. She never married. She came to Maine in 1972 to live with her half sister, Anna E. (Korhonen) (Orell) Ratia. Here is her gravestone, and here is her obituary, from the Lewiston (Maine) Daily Sun of 7 June 1985:

Tiina died 1 May 1944 in West Paris. Here is their gravestone. and here is her obituary, from the Lewiston Daily Sun of 2 May 1944:
