Mr. Louma has been in Hanna since the opening of the mines, beginning work there thirty-two years ago, March 1899, as a box car loader. Mr. Frank L. McCarty was foreman at that time.

Mr. Louma was born in Kankaanpää, Kylä, Sievi Pitajd Quinn Lääni, Finland, April 3, 1874. In March 1899, he came to America, coming directly to Hanna. Since that time Mr. Louma has lived continuously in Hanna. He has one brother living in Salt Lake and a sister living in New York state. Mr. Louma’s service has been long and faithful.
