Funeral services will be conducted at 2 o'clock next Sunday afternoon in the Cloquet co-op auditorium for Martin Aalto, 27, well-known Cloquet young man who died Tuesday morning at Ah-Gwah-Ching Sanitarium in Walker, MN. Rev. Mrs. Lappala of Virginia will officiate at the services and interment will be made in Hillcrest Cemetery here.
The young man had many friends in the community who deeply mourn his death. He had been confined to the sanitarium for the past four years.
Born in Cloquet on September 8, 1912, he was educated in the local schools and was graduated from Cloquet high school in 1931. For two years he studied civil engineering at the Dunwoody Institute, Minneapolis.
He is survived by his parents Mr. and Mrs. Alex Aalto and a brother, George, of Cloquet, and one sister, Miss. Vienna Aalto of Minneapolis.
This Obituary is from the Pine Knot, Cloquet, MN, Sept 29, 1939, Page 7.
Note: The Ah-Gwah-Ching Sanitarium, also known as The Minnesota State Sanatorium for Consumptives was built to treat tuberculosis patients.
The name "Ah-Gwah-Ching" means "out-of-doors" in the Ojibwe language. At the time the only widely accepted treatment for tuberculosis was fresh air and a healthy environment, which stimulated the body's immune system. The therapy did not always work but, lacking a suitable alternative, the country erected sanatoriums to quarantine and treat patients.
