Additional Comments:

Mathis "Matti" and Edla Matson came to Astoria from Finland in 1904  
Their last name was Raisanen but they changed it to Matson in 1913.

Their daughter Esther McIlvain is buried next to them. Their son Walter
died in 1929 and is said to be buried in this cemetery though I have
yet to find the grave.  It could be the unmarked grave next to Matti.
