        Historique

        Norman Roy Stephenson, son of William Howard and Caroline Emily Stephenson (née Farrow), was born in Toronto on 1 February 1890. He was one of eleven children. Four Stephenson brothers (Edwin Howard, John Carleton, Henry Arthur, and Roy) served in World War I. Roy Stephenson served with the 4th Battalion, the Royal Canadian Regiment, in northern France. He was wounded twice in battle: a gunshot in the shoulder at Ypres on 26 March 1915 and shrapnel in the leg at Canal du Nord near Arras on 10 September 1918.

        After the war on 26 November 1920, he married Elfrida Bourne. They had four children. Although Stephenson was an electrician by trade, in the 1920s he worked at odd jobs, selling family produce. He also went out to western Canada during harvest time. In 1930 he applied and passed the Post Office exams and was a postman in Hamilton until his retirement. He died on 2 February 1959.
