(submitted by Sue McKay)

Born in Warwick Twp., Wilford Byrns (1868–1941) resided in Sarnia for 23 years before his death. He was a building contractor who was president of the Sarnia Property Owners' Association when it was organized. His parents were Ira N. (1864–1930) and Abigail (Coyne, 1830–1918) Byrns, who settled first in Warwick Twp., then moved to Plympton Twp.

Wilford Byrns suffered poor health for some time. He was a lover of flowers; his chief interest was roses. He had an intimate knowledge of the various varieties of roses and his beds were beauty spots which hundreds of people visited each year.
