Photographer unknown—probably a family member, 1917
After returning to Finland, Alexander and his family settled in Hyvinkää, north of Helsinki. In this photograph we see Alexander and Hilja Eufemia, around a table having tee or coffee with two guests. Standing next to his mother is Niilo, 5½ years old. The guests, I would guess, are Hilja Eufemia's two sisters Lyyli and Hellä. Behind the coffee table is a piece of furniture that has travelled a long way with the family and now stands restored in our kitchen.
