Mrs William Lahtinen (Anna Silfven), was born in America, her parents having settled there from Finland. She married Revend Lahtinen, who was a renowned traveling preacher.
Reverend Lahtinen accepted a call to be the pastor of the Lutheran Church in Cokato Minnesota. While their new house in Cokato was being built, the Lahtinens traveled to Finland with their daughter Martta to visit family. Anna's cousin Lyyli Sylvén wished to immigrate to America. The Lahtinens were to accompany her and give her a place to live in the new parsonage. Unfortunately, Martta became deathly ill, so they canceled their travel plans. Martta did not recover. After the funeral, the Lahtinens and Lyyli rebooked their passage to America, which included second class passage on the Titanic. After the Titanic collided with an iceberg, Anna had initially boarded a lifeboat, but decided that she wanted to stay with her husband. Miss Silvén, however, got in a boat and was rescued. She later told that Anna Lahtinen had looked very nervous, while William had calmly smoked a cigar. Neither of their bodies were found.
