AINO IDA KAAKINEN, 1905

Aino Ida was the 11-month-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Kaakinen, of Finland and was one of three Dawson children to die within a 24-hour period of unknown causes referred to as “dysentery, summer complaint or fever”. The parents had a fence constructed surrounding this site and over the past 100 years a huge spruce tree has grown in the middle of the grave. The marker has been mounted on the tree to ensure its survival. Her grave is at the east end of the Hillside Cemetery on the "Dome" overlooking Dawson City.

Death Record from Green's Mortuary, Dawson City, Yukon:

KAAKINEN, Aino Ida; 11 months old; Pernicious malarial fever; Craig St. Near D.E.L. and P. Co.; Mr. and Mrs. Emil Kaakinen
