Birth*Lieutenant Colonel James Vrooman was born in 1794 in Lincoln County, Ontario, Canada. 
Marriage*He married Jane Purdy. 
Marriage*Lieutenant Colonel James Vrooman married Roda Johnston. 
Death*Lieutenant Colonel James Vrooman died on 4 September 1871; Lieutenant-Colonel James Vrooman of the Township of Brock, Ontario Co. was born on the banks of the Niagara River in 1794. He was the youngest son of Col. Adam Vrooman and Margarath DePeyster Mattice.
Vrooman joined the Glengary Fencibles at Three Rivers under command of Col. Battersby (in defense of his country). He was present and took part in many engagements -- the capture of the American army at St. Regis -- the storming of Ogdensburgh -- the battle of Stoney Creek -- the taking of Oswego on the memorable day at Lundy's Lane -- and in many more skirmishes. At the close of the American War, the British government held out inducements to the discharged soldiers to settle in Perth and other parts of Upper Canada, offering free grants of land and provisions for a time and carpenter's tools. Colonel Vrooman settled in Perth, but in 1818 he disposed of his property and drew lot 6 in the 7th Concession of Breck (now Vroomanton) and settled there in 1820. In 1822, Col. Vrooman married Miss Jane Purdy of Cobourg, by whom he had seven children, one son and six daughters. After the death of his wife in 1838, he married his second wife, Miss Rhoda Johnson of Manilla. Col. James Vrooman has held many important offices of trust in Brock and the early settlers looked upon him as the godfather of the township.

Birth*Lionel Waghorn was born on 25 April 1927. 
He was the son of Thomas Gordon Waghorn and Palmyre Dufresne. 
Death*Lionel Waghorn died on 19 February 2008 at age 80; It is with great shock and sadness that the family of Lionel Waghorn announce his sudden passing while skating laps at the Terrace Bay Arena on February 19tth, 2008. Lionel was born April 25th 1927 in Benny's Siding, Ont. to the late Gordon and Polymer Waghorn. He spent his childhood in Nipigon and graduated from highschool in Thunder Bay. In 1949 he graduated from the Ontario College of Pharmacy in Toronto. His career as a pharmacist began in Kenora. It was here that he met his sweetheart, Alice Meek. They were united in marriage on June 13th, 1953 and moved shortly there after to Terrace Bay, where they made their home, started a family and opened Waghorn's Pharmacy. This was the extent of travel for a man who loved the North Shore of Lake Superior. He was a humble man who posessed great faith. He was passionate about his family, friends, camp, fishing, skating, blueberry picking and his woodpile. Lionel purchased "Skunk Hollow" on Kama Bay in 1980. It was here that everlasting memories grew from time spent with family and friends at the lake. Lionel was a loyal friend and mentor to many. He was our hero and there are no words to convey our sorrow. Lionel was pre-deceased by his brothers Andrew Waghorn (in infantcy), Jerry Waghorn and an infant grandson. Left to forever miss him are his wife Alice, children Geralyne Russell (Michael), Kerry Irwin (James), Cindy Parkinson (Michael) Mary Waghorn (Lynn Bruyere), Carrol Meister (Vernon), and Peter Waghorn. He will also be dearly missed by his grandchildren Kyle, Teryne, Michaela, Jordan, Kailey, Kirstin, Brent, Hailey, Lauren, Shawn and great granddaughter Riley. Lionel will be remembered with a smile by his extended family and countless friends. A Resurrection Mass for Lionel will be held at St. Martin of Tours Roman Catholic Church in Terrace Bay on Tuesday, February 26th, 2008 begining at 11:00 am. Prayers will be offered at 7pm. Monday, February 25th, 2008 also at St. Martin of Tours. Simple acts of kidness in Lionels memory can be made in lieu of donations. If desired memorial donations can be made to the Long Term Care Project at The McCausland Hospital."
