Jussi Takala was very keen to educate his children and therefore even the daughters went to school at the young age. Even though Maria didn't have a chance to be educated probably, she learnt to read and write and she was said to be a really determined and ready-worded yet clever woman.
Maria married Matti Metsälä on 30th of September 1876 and they had five children, two of which died young. Three daughters lived to see adulthood: Emilia, Eeva Lyydia and Anna Elin.
Anna Elin died just a year after the birth of her son and therefore Maria and Matti raised their grandson Eino August Tuomisalo as child of their own.
