Description
English: Gabriel Hukkala was born in Vaasa, Finland in 1866 and immigrated to the United States with his brother, John, around 1890. He landed in Marquette and then moved to Calumet, working as a tailor. In 1898 he married fellow Finnish-immigrant, Margareta Ervasti, in Calumet. Finnish Apostolic Lutheran Pastor A.L. Heideman officiated the ceremony. The couple had five children while living in Calumet, Laurium and Centennial Heights. By 1910 Gabriel had his own tailor shop in South Range, where the family also lived. Their son, Gabriel Jr., later became a professional staff artist for The Chicago Daily News. After a stroke left his right side paralyzed, he demonstrated his 'sisu' by learning to paint with his left hand. Sisu cannot be translated into the English language but roughly means, stoic determination, bravery and resilience. Gabriel Senior's family members were laid to rest at South Range's Mountain View Cemetery. Gabriel Junior's family are interred at the Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago. Photo courtesy of family.
