His parents were mason Johan David Eliasson and Amanda Sofia Jusenius. He finnicized his name from Eliasson to Halme in 1905.[21]

Halme was the copy editor of Suomen Urheilulehti in 1912–1917 and the chief executive officer of its publisher Urheilijain Kustannus in 1911–1917.[10]

He wrote the first Finnish language history of a sports club in 1907, on Helsingin Reipas.[10]

Sportswriter Yrjö Halme was his brother. Together they founded the sports almanac Urheilukalenteri.[21]

Death

[edit]

Halme had been the manager of sports equipment shop Suomen Urheiluaitta since 1917. In the opening days of the Finnish Civil War, clothing and shoes from their stock were distributed to members of the White Guard fleeing Helsinki. In retaliation, Halme was shot on the stairs of the Helsinki Cathedral by Red Guardsmen and died of his wounds in hospital the following day.[10]
