My grandfather, Charlie Clayton (1869-1962), was born in Lambton Mills, Ontario, 2nd of 11 children born to Charles Clayton (1844-1886) and Mary Matilda Stewart (1847-1929), who were married in York (Toronto) on December 29, 1868. Charles Clayton came to Canada from Sherburn, York, England, where his family were gardeners. He and Mary operated a market garden where they settled in Lambton Mills. Charlie Jr. came west from Toronto on the harvest excursions in the late 1890s. He purchased NW 12-2-8 in 1920 through the Soldiers Settlement Board, the farm on which I was reared. He married Phoebe Mary Ann "Polly" Card on 03/03/1921 and they had two sons -- Reg (1922) and Stew (1929). Charlie Jr. lived a long, healthy life, stooking a field of oats single-handedly at the age of 90. He was laid to rest in the Darlingford cementary in June, 1962.
