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.

This article provides a history of the grain elevator business previously on the site of the current GO Train Station on Bridge Street. Farmers around town would bring in their grain to the elevators by wagon and sleighs in order to have their grains bought. The highest bidder would then direct the farmers to their specific grain mills to be processed. The building was demolished by the end of the Second World War.
