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 the father of Dr. L.H. Campbell, and Mr. W.L. Campbell, and the grandfather of Lewis B. Campbell, who still resides in Bradford.
