In the Frontenac News on July 13th, there was a picture of Verona School. It was not always there. At one time it was on the rocky knoll across from the Verona Medical Clinic where a house has recently been built. One Sunday, Mr. Mckeever and Mr. Veley moved that building up the railway track to its new home.
The south end of Verona was called Richardson for a man who had mills there. There was a store in Verona owned by a man named Geraldi. He was Italian and he had a son named William. One day a piano salesman came along to try to sell him a piano. William was just a toddler and had wet himself sitting in front of the store. Mr Geraldi said "Why would I want a Pee Annie when I have a Pee Willie?"
These are facts told to me by people involved.
