Finland death place, 1989 for Eugenie Lisitzin

Christian N. K. Anderson

I'm writing the English wikipedia article for the first woman physicist in Finland here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenie_Lisitzin

I managed to find lots of good info about her (including the entirely unexpected fact that she took a six month sabbatical at my grad school, UC San Diego), except WHERE she died on Oct 28, 1989. Unfortunately, the newspaper archives I've been able to find either end in 1955 or start in 2000. Does anyone have any ideas about where I could track her down? She sadly doesn't appear in the indexes of scientists and engineers I've been able to find, and the book the Finnish wikipedia page cites for her death date (Kuolleita suomalaisia. Mitä Missä Milloin 1991) is only available in Europe according to WorldCat.

Of course, any other information you turn up on her or her family would be most welcome as well! I was really hoping for an obituary (wikipedia gold) but it looks like that might be hoping for too much.

Thanks for your help!

I am going to tag @Heidi Kuosmanen for this. She may have some ideas.

I live in Finland and I can go to the library after Easter to look information on her.

Thank you!

I managed to find a record of the family living in north Karelia in the 1920 Henkikirja: (line 5 in the link)

Could someone confirm that the record from Vyborg in 1906 says they were "non-resident" at the time? (top two lines)

From a facebook group, I see that the immigrant register has information about Gregorius Lisitzin returning to Finland from Germany, but I can't see any of the details without an account.

Also, someone says there is an obituary in Helsingin Sanomat 4 Nov. 1989, but I can't see that without an account either. Does anyone have access to this?

Thanks again everyone.

The first link is from Sortavalan maalaiskunta, Viipuri, Finland and the family lived in the village of Otsois (Otsoinen) on the farm called Niemelä at year 1920. Lisitzin family were Greek Orthodox.

Second link is from Sortavala (town), Viipuri, Finland at 1906. It says that the family was staying in Russia with the passport.

Both of these links come from a census record collection of Viipuri province.

I am going to the library today and I can also find out if they have an access to that newspaper.

I went to the library yesterday.

There were the book Mitä Missä Milloin 1991. In the listing of Kuolleita suomalaisia, Eugenie Lisitzin ha s only birth year and death date, no places mentioned.

I managed to get an access to that Helsingin Sanomat newspaper from 4 Nov 1989.

Eugenie Lisitzin died peacefully at her home in Helsinki.
