"Howard Stevenson: - written by Euphemia Stevenson
Howard came from East Angus, Quebec, in March 1926 to the Craigyle District. His father was J. M. Stevenson. He bought a section of land in 1924 which was located three and one half miles West of Craigmyle, and known as the Company farm.
In 1928 Howard married Euphemia Beath of the Delia district. We had one Son Ronald, born in 1934. We lived on that farm until 1939 and then moved north of Delia 1 mile, stahying there for four years, and then moving west of Delia to the Hubbard farm where I still live. Howard passed away in 1963. Ronald and his Wife Betty reside on the farm with me. They have three children: Joni, Robert and Douglas.
Howard served on many committees - Municipal Council, School board, church board, twelve years secretary of UFA farm supply and ten years on the local UGG board. While he was on the UGG b oard, the Delia Curling rink came into being. ...."

Mr. David Beath (1906)
On Sunday, all that was mortal of the late David Beath was laid to rest in the Congregational Cemetery. Mr. Beath, who was in his fifty-fourth year has been indisposed for over a year. His demise on Thursday, although expected, still came as a shock to his wife and family, who now mourn his loss deeply. Mr. Beath moved to Oro nineteen years ago from Whitby. He was an active, energetic man and took part in all live topics of the day affecting his own community or township. He was township auditor for several years and on two occasions aspired for the office of councillor. Mr Beath was twice married: five children by his first wife survive him and two children are left with the second wife to mourn the loss of a devoted father and husband. The funeral took place on Sunday. The cortege, extending over a mile was headed by the Court Evening Star, I.O.F. of which Mr. Beath was a member. The service was conducted by Rev. C.C. Claris assisted by Mr. Pearce, of Barrie. The casket was beautified by a wreath from the church, a wreath from I.O.F. and a crescent from Mr. and Mrs. John Elliott. The pallbearers were Messrs. D. Bolton, Stephen Gardner, John Elliott, Irwin Addison, John Addison and Alex. Coutts.

David married Annie Lavina Elliott on 20 Nov 1901 in Oro Twp, Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada. Annie (daughter of J. Elliott) was born on 22 Sep 1879 in Gravenhurst, Ontario, Canada; died on 8 Sep 1910 in Craven Junction, Saskatchewan, Canada; was buried in Edgar, Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada.
