I found a headstone for Isakke E. Oja at Mount Pleasant cemetery in Seattle, Washington. It was small and not embedded in the ground. It intrigued me so i took a photo. later on I checked on findagrave.com and saw he was listed so I added the photo. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=24...;


I did a little digging and found the following:

Firland Sanatorium, Seattle’s municipal tuberculosis hospital, opened on May 2, 1911, to help combat what was at the time Seattle’s leading cause of death. Firland was located on 34 acres in the Richmond Highlands area, 12 miles north of the then-border of Seattle (in 1995 this first Firland site became part of the newly incorporated City of Shoreline). The hospital served there until its move to a former Naval hospital (at 15th Avenue NE and 150th Street) in 1947, and continued to treat TB patients until its dissolution in 1973.
