Mattia Culos came to Canada in 1912.  He farmed a fourteen acre lot on Gordon Road. Cestilia Bazzana came to Canada in 1923 to marry Mattia, in the Immaculate Conception Church, on September 27 1923.  They raised Antonia (John Schmidt), Reno (Elizabeth Kalenchuk), Louis (Sharron Wilson), Gertie (Phillip Bachmann) and Lena  (Sonny Herbst). They lived happily on the farm until 1960  when they retired to the city. Sadly, Mattia passed away one year after retirement. Cestilia passed away 1973.
