• Photos » Slide Show		Gravesite of Leo Pekka Holmberg and Esther Simila Holmberg The gravesite at Westpark Cemetery, Cleveland, Ohio
  		Farm land outside of Makinen Minnesota. I went up to Makinen Minnesota to try and take a photo of the original Simila Farm...my best guess is that this land is currently swamp land. This picture was taken about 0.5 miles to the west of the original Simila Farm.
  		Wilson Road Farm near Makinen Minnesota. This is a farm off the road where the original Simila Farm was. My guess is that this is to the west of the original farm. Note the road - it looks identical to the one in Hankasalmi Finland where Farm#2 was located.

  		1914 map of Sections 11 and 12, Township 56 R16, St. Louis County, Minnesota Kusti and Esther Simila had their farm in Section 11, Township 56, R16 St. Louis County Minnesota. It was on this farm that our mother Esther Simila was born in 1919. Note that in Section 12 is the property of Thomas Flom Kero, the uncle of Esther Kero.
  		Location of Simila Farm in Makinen Minnesota, 1913 - 1923. This is my best guess to where the Simila Farm was. The records indicate it was in Township 56 Range 16, which would in this area.
  		Location of Simila Farm, as seen from the west. This is my best guess as to where the Simila Farm was located, looking from the west. "Downtown" Makinen is to the west.
  		Simila Family around 1926-1927. From left to right the girl is Esther Simila, the baby is her brother Arthur. Holding the baby is Esther Kero Simila. The boy standing is probably Uuma. The man is Kustti Simila, and the boy to his side is probably Eino (maybe Oiva).
