Stephen Radcliff (1844-1919) was the son of William Radcliff. Although born on Amherst Island, 22 Feb. 1844, his family returned to Adelaide, Upper Canada when he was five years of age. With the exception of some time spent logging in Michigan, he lived most of his life in southwestern Ontario. He was at various times a farmer, wood-cutter, teamster, lumber scaler, binder twine agent, life insurance salesman and fish vendor. He was also an active Orangeman and a poet of local repute.
