Looking for information on Sylvesteri Joas (1886-1916)

I am looking for any information on my great, grandfather Sylvesteri ("Westeri") Joas. He came to the US from Alajarvi, Finland in February 1911, and sent his wife Maria and daughter Aune in the following year. He lived in Nelsonville, Ohio with inlaws (?), had another daughter in the US (Sophie), and died in June 1916 in Duluth, MN from working the iron mines of the upper Midwest. I don't know where he was buried. I don't know anyone alive that knew him nor was related either to him in either the US or Finland. I only have one picture of him in his sick bed. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
