On 19 July 2001, Charity Elizabeth Gwin, the older of
Sharon's and my daughters and first of our three children to marry,
said "I do" to Beau Scott Pihlaja,
the older of Scott and Mary Jo's sons and the first of their three
children to marry. Beau and Charity lived for three
years in Deerfield, IL, near Scott and Mary Jo and where they were
active in the Evangelical Free Church. Beau
graduated a second time from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in May
2008, ending up with both master of divinity and master of theology
degrees. With her bachelor's from NMSU
in Journalism and English, Charity was an associate editor for three
construction/trade magazines in the Greater Chicago area while they
were in Deerfield. God led them to
Bangalore, India, where Beau taught for a year at a small evangelical
seminary. His students were pastors and
pastors-to-be from all over India.
After a trying "trying" time, God in His timing and grace gave them a
healthy baby boy, Asher Samuel Neeraj
Pihlaja, born 29 September 2008. They
returned to the U.S. in June 2009,
as it seems God is leading Beau into a doctorate program--PhD? ThD?--at
an as-of-yet-undisclosed location. But in the fall 2009, He
brought them back to the southwest. Beau is teaching again, this time
at the University of Texas at El Paso. It's good to have them so
close. Now God has given them a second child, Cressida Noel Pihlaja, born in El
Paso, TX, on 11 Dec 2010. She's Sharon's and my sixth
grandchild--and first granddaughter!

Sources:
- My original information came from the family of my
son-in-law, Beau Scott Pihlaja--his
parents, his grandparents, et al, all listed below.
- Various U. S. censuses have provided additional data.
- In April 2007 I
corresponded with Mike Pihlaja,
the youngest son of Jack and Ina (Niska)
Pihlaja, who sent me the
family tree of all Jack's and Ina's descendants. I've added that
information in this green color.
- A fascinating human interest story on Beau's grandfather,
Howard Pihlaja, of Phillip, SD, caught my eye.
- In Dec 2011 I met on Ancestry.com the
daughter-in-law of Henry and Ella (Niska) Dhennin, Mrs. Beth Dhennin, who
provided quite a bit of data that helped us expand our Niska section
below.
- Several obituaries found on Findagrave.com
have been excellent resources; these are linked to their Findagrave.com
memorials.

we
see
that
Jack
will not be found in the 1910 census. I don't know if Minnesota held a
state census in mid-decade, but that will be our next best bet at
finding Jack's parents.

I'm
guessing that all three were born in the 8-year gap between John and

We're
not
yet
sure
how
or
if
this
person/family
is related to our Pihlajas, but we think the spelling of the last name
may have been a misunderstanding on the part of the enumerator, the
actual name being Pihlaja. I did a search on Ancestry.com for Pihlaja in 1900,
and this was the first family to surface. (Someone had later added
Pihlaja to the Bihlaja transcription, Ancestry
having originally mistranscribed it as "Behdaja".)

These
two
younger
children
were
born
in
Michigan,
not
Minnesota, and the family immediately below is from Michigan as
well. Since their mother says she has borne 9 children, only five
of whom still live, I believe Charles and Oscar may be the other two,
brothers to Sakris, Sophia, and John.

Again,
we're
not
sure
how
or
even
if
this
family is related to ours. Nevertheless, everything matches up
for these two brothers, Charles and Oscar, to be the two other
surviving children of Sacras and Amilel, above. That both brothers are
carpenters by trade would give them perfect reason to remain behind
together in the northern tip of Michigan when the parents and other
children, all of whose occupations were in agriculture, moved to
Minnesota in the tri-state area near ND and SD, some 300 miles
west.
Concerning the spelling of the last name, if the word is actually
Pihlaja, then it seems to me quite coincidental
that BOTH enumerators--300 miles apart--would have heard and written it
incorrectly. So perhaps these are not Pihlajas after all. I hope
finding them in other census will straighten it out.

We're

whether
or
not
this
family
is
related to us. But the last name fits, and so we add them to this list
of discoveries in hopes that sooner or later, someone will surface who
can make the connection.

OK,
I
have
attempted
here
to
list
all
13
of their children based on their names and DOB. This will be
transferrable to the outline should we ever connect this family to our
Pihlajas. Five names are unknown and their approximate DOB speculated.
I wonder what caused this poor family to lose so many children early.

Howard Pihlaja, at 86 years old, still the man
to operate heavy equipment
By admin
Created 18 Nov 2010
“I just like to do it.” ... Howard Pihlaja
drives the big machinery. It makes no difference to him or to the
people who know him that he is 86 years old.
"When you've been driving them for as many years as I have, there's
nothing to it," said Howard Pihlaja, Philip. "I just like to do it."
At 86-years-old last October 17, and having driven big machinery since
he was 15, Pihlaja still drives equipment such as road graders and
bulldozers for a living. He has been working for Philip Livestock
Auction for approximately 30 years as a jack-of-all-trades, but he is
the man when it comes to operating the heavy stuff.
"I retired at 65. Figured all I had to do was drink beer and fish. The
fishing got old, so I've been working another 20 years," said Pihlaja.
He has been also going on 19 years of not having a drink.
Thor Roseth, who has taken over the ownership of PLA from his uncle,
Jerry, said, "Howard has been a part of PLA for a long time. He likes
to work--there's something kinda to that as well. He's the guy, when
you have a project, I want you to know, he's the one to ask. He's done
practically everything, building, welding, any dirt work project and
any equipment."
Roseth, a Norwegian in heritage and not a tiny man in stature, said
that Pihlaja, a not-too-large man, often says, "Watch out, this little
Finlander will get the better of you."
"Howard built this building and a large number of the pens here," said
Roseth. "He does all the snow removal with his blade." Though Pihlaja
has sold his equipment to Roseth, in maybe a hint to someday really
retiring, "It'll still be 'his' until he's not here. In everybody's
minds, it's still his even if I did pay for it," said Roseth.

"Beth" A. Welbaum,
CONTRIBUTOR,
[PRIVATE]
Hi,
John...Interesting to hear from you! Perhaps I can add some information
from the Niska line of my husband, Jerry Bruce Dhennin (b. 1934)
- only child of Ella Niska (b. 1908) and Henry Dhennin in Squaw Lake,
MN. However, I am certain that you have access to much of that as well.
Please let me know if I can fill-in a bit of the "old stuff" for you -
some going back to Farmer Per Niskanen in 1701. Jerry and I are parents
of Mark Henry (b.1961)-now married to Colleen Stippel, and Rebecca
Allen (b.1964) - married to Daniel Luetje. Each couple are parents of
one boy and one girl.

John,
I found this info online to help in your search for more family on our
side.
Harold Hamalain was my mother’s (Rosemarie's) step brother. In
other words, Hamalain was her mother’s (Ruth's) first husband’s family
name.
Attached are two items I found on-line concerning Harold.
Ruth would have had these names: Ruth A. Wentworth (Maiden name),
Ruth Hamalain, Ruth Albie, and finally Ruth Stelter.
I found her name in the “Teachers’ Training School List of Bemidji, MN,
dated 7/20/1916” http://genealogytrails.com/minn/news_schools.html

Hi:
Bernard and his father spelled their name Albee. My relative who
fought in the revolution is buried next to his wife his name is spelled
Albee hers Allbee.
The first Albee who came to Braintree in
1637 spelled name his Albee, Alby, Albie in various references.
Probably some spelled Allbee so they they wouldn't called Al-bee.
Joesph Albee, teacher, War of
1812 veteran, born near Albany, N.Y. in 1787, died 12/1/1852--changed
name in later life to Allbee; m. Electra Crippen about 1811.
13 children -Bernard C. was 4th.
Joesph's father was Eleazer Albee died 1808, a scout in Amer.
Rev.; wife was Diana

Hi;
Your line of Albees is 1-Benjamin, 2-James, 3-Benjamin,
4-Obediah, 5-Lt William.
My line is same except my relative was William's older brother another Benjamin.
1-Benjamin Albee came from Norwich, England in 1637
to Braintree, Ma. We are still trying to find more on him in
England, no soap so far--although his father may have been Edward
Albee (Allbee, Alby Albie Albeye). Chuck
