My grandfather, Matthias Rajala, was born in 1888 in Finland. He immigrated to Ironwood, MI when he was 18, married Ida, fathered a daughter (who died at 3 days old), then 7 sons, and was killed in 1927 (age 39) when his horse drawn sled was hit by a car. My father never talked about him to me, but I heard from cousins that he was not a kind man.
