She was born in about 1881 in Finland and immigrated to America in 1895. There is some question whether her maiden name in Finland was Hendrikson; she may have changed it upon arrival in America, a common practice at the time.
She married Elias "Eli" Koskela on Dec 8, 1900 at Butte, Montana. He was a copper miner. They had sons Archie, Howard, and Theodore Koskela there.
She and her husband moved to Long Valley, Idaho where her husband’s family lived after about 1920. They farmed in the McCall/Van Wyck area.
Their marriage ended sometime after 1920. Her sons Theodore and Archie became miners in Butte. According to her death record, she is interred at Mountain View Cemetery, Butte Montana, as are her sons Theodore and Archie who both died in Butte in 1929 as a result of accidents.
