Ero Alanen, the oldest son of Simon and Anna Alanen, went to work on the railroad at 14 to help the family budget. He was always interested in cars and took mail order lessons in auto repair. At 15 he was the third person in Beechwood to own a car. It was a Model T. He did not like railroad work so he decided to work in the mine. The first days of mining, some dirt fell on his dinner pail and squashed it. So that was the end of that. He then tried the woods. At 18 years of age, he met Lena Kosky and after a courtship they married on May 7, 1921. The family home burned in 1924 and they moved to Iron River. By this time their two children were born. Phyllis was two years old and Ero Everett one. Ero worked for Walter Kavaleski for a while. Then he went to Lindahls and worked there for many years. He owned his own garage (The Oldsmobile Sales and Service) for a while, but returned to Lindahls. He died on April 16, 1965.
Phyllis married Francis Suksi and they have three children, William, Barbara and Eugene. William and Barbara are married and Eugene in college with intentions of becoming a doctor. Francis Suksi died in 1975. Phyllis is a legal secretary and lives in Cary, Illinois.
Ero Everett joined the Marines right after his graduation from high school. He was in the service for four years in the South Pacific. After returning home from Service he went into the garage business. He married Jean Wingstrom in 1947. They moved to Chicago and Ero worked for the Eastman Kodak Company for about 15 years. He has one son Scott, married and living in Long Grove, Illinois. At present Ero is living with his mother in Iron River.
