This is a sister of the Johan Alfred mentioned in the previous Herlevi query. This is what her relative wrote. Any information will be appreciated:
Eliina Alexandersdr Herlevi born 17 Sep 1888 Herlevi, Ullava ,Vaasa, Finland to Alexander Johansson Herlevi- Puumala and Johanna Eriksdr Takaloja, She came to America Leaving Finland on the SS Urania 15 Nov 1905 for England then leaving from England on the Ocean Line Dominion, for Quebec Canada 23 Nov 1905. I believe her destination was Iron Belt Wisconsin. Somewhere in all my material it seems that I found that she married an Emil Korpi in Iron Belt Wisconsin. She lived in Bessemer Michigan in 1930 and is shown as a Widow, her age is shown as 41., No children are listed living with her although a Elvi Korpi is shown living with her sister Selma Hill in Bessemer her age is listed as 14.and she is shown as a boarder. There is also a Florance Korpi living with Alexanders family in Iron Belt Wisconsinon the 1930 census. This maybe another child she is 21years of age. On the obituary of Alexander Herlevi it list two sister As being Selma Hill and Mrs Swantee Nartunen. Eliina probably remarried. Trying to find someone with that name in the Bessemer and Ironwood area has been difficult.
