  Noteringar	The Karunki, Finland church records had no record of her except her birth as she went to the United States at a young age. She met Andrew Mantyla in the States and he promised to take care of her so they were married. He had a lumbering camp t one time in Saxon, Wisconsin. Most of their lives, however, were spent on a farm in Erwin Township, just outside Ironwood, Michigan. They sold milk to a dairy and potatoes to people in the locations who did not have garden space to grow them. They also did plowing for those who wanted to have their own gardens. Both of them were bothered with asthma during their lifetimes. Their home was a good example of Finnish construction. The walls were of logs which were covered inside and out with planed lumber. There was a large entry porch with benches under the windows for seating as well as storage. They used kerosone lamps and lanterns but eventually got in lights and were able to have a washing machine. They had their own well and a sauna. They had one or two hired men especially before the boys were grown.There was an organ in the front room and church services were often held at the home. Before they got lights their Christmas tree was decorated with small candles in metal holders that were kind of woven into the branches. Two tall cabinets in the large kitchen often held shallow bowls of filia. The kitchen floor was varnished each year late some night so it would be dry by morning.
