I believe the name is incorrectly recorded. My great grandfather's brother, Josef (as spelled in Finnish) was killed in a mine explosion in Scofield UT on 5-1-1900 and I believe this grave is his. Janet Miller

-------------------------
I neglected to mention that the last name is misspelled. It should be Kotka not Kotkn. Janet Miller
