• Lydia Weidelman is my great grandaunt. The description in place on 15 August 2012 for this photo of her is inaccurate. Lydia was born in Finland in 1888. She lived in the Calumet area all her life, and died in 1937. She was reportedly a very sweet and sociable person, and did fine crochet and other handwork. We her family would like all to know that we are fond of her memory and trust that others look upon her kindly.Carol ParssinenMTU class of '85('88) 8/15/2012 5:17:51 PM by Anonymous
