Henry Sunnarborg, at left, stands beside his first car, a Model-T Ford, along with Mrs. Elizabeth Mattinen, who is holding her granddaughter, Vera Mattinen Moll. Standing to the far right is Mrs. Mattinen's son, Emil Mattinen. The Mattinen farm was an 80-acre tract located on the easterly edge of Esko. The north 40 acres was bounded on the west by the Juntunen Road and on the south by Highway 61. The St. Matthew's Lutheran Church and the former Kinnunen Lumber Company (in 2011, the Moosebrew Internet Gallery and Cafe) are both located on what was once a part of the Mattinen farm. The property and two story log portion of the house were purchased in 1887 by Elizabeth and her husband, John Erick Mattinen, known as Erick, from Henry Sunnarborg. Erick Mattinen built the one story part of the house, which became the kitchen. Henry Sunnarborg was the foster father of noted Esko resident, Julia Sunnarborg. The house in the photo, which was dismantled in 1956, was located just west of St. Matthew's Church on the property now identified as 5 Elizabeth Avenue, Esko.
