Note after His marriage 1929

Couple At Sudbury Were Married By Rev A. J. Bruce, Reports Now State. Special to the Journal SUDBURY, Jan. 16. Strong opinion
prevails here that an injustice has been done Mr. and Mrs. Verner Kallio.

the Sudbury Finnish paper, Vapaus, to congratulate them upon their marriage. The
advertisement stated Verner Kallio and Miss Laina Hanninen. Were united to live
as comrades, and had begun to do this very thing, and through a misunderstanding
of the facts, an article appeared in the Sudbury Star which conveyed the
impression that the insertion of this advertisement was the only marriage
ceremony that had taken place. This article was subsequently telegraphed to the

Married By Minister
Mr. and Mrs.
Kallio were united in marriage at Copper Cliff on December 23 by Rev. A. J. Bruce of St. John's Church. The
advertisement which appeared in Vapaus was merely one of congratulation of the
hosts of friends of the young couple both of whom are well respected residents
of the Long Lake district. Mr. Kallio feels the publication of this article
keenly, particularly in view of the fact that he intends applying for admission
to the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph. Since settling in the Long Lake
district he has proved to be one of the best types of newcomers. A hard worker
and keenly ambitious, It is to add scientific knowledge to the actual farming
experience he actually has that he intends to apply to the Ontario Agricultural
