A photograph of seven Bradford business men, c. 1870. William L. Campbell (Grain Dealer) is on the top left in back row. He was sent to Bradford by his Newmarket employer in 1862 to open a grain and lumber business.

Mr. Robert Stewart was the Municipal Clerk and Treasurer of Bradford starting in 1861. He had previously run a grocery and liquor store, but the fire of 1892 put him out of business. He was born in Kincardinshire, Scotland, who came to Canada in 1854, and settled in Bradford.

William Campbell was originally from Ireland, and came to Canada in 1857, first settling in Brantford, then Newmarket, before coming to Bradford in 1862. He was a grain buyer, and dealer in coal, lumber, and shingles. He was also on the municipal council, and reeve for two years, as well as chief engineer of the fire company. He was the father of Dr. L.H. Campbell, and Mr. W.L. Campbell, and the grandfather of Lewis B. Campbell, who still resides in Bradford.

Stewart is on the left, and Campbell is on the right.
