John S. (Jack) Douglas (1918 - 1982) was born in Plympton Twp. After he married Helen Jean Clark, they farmed the Clark homestead, "Victoria Farm", at Lot 4, Con. 2 SER, Warwick Twp. They had seven children, all of whom attended SS#3Warwick (Elarton School) and then Warwick Township Central School after it opened in 1957. Their children are: Ivonne, Inez, John, Jerry, Sandra, Lyle and Penny.
The family has all moved away from Warwick Twp. Ivonne married Joseph Woodall of Lambeth. Inez married Don Pecena of Brooke Twp. Sandra married William Hayward of Goderich. Penny married Roy Hall of Enniskillen Twp. John lives in St. Thomas, Jerry in Strathroy and Lyle in Brooke Twp.
Over the years Jean and Jack did mixed farming and sold cream, mild, eggs, pork and beef along with crops of grain, corn, beans and sugar beets. With two teams of heavy horses Jack spent winters pulling logs in Eastern Ontario. In 1955 he purchased a backhoe and worked on the pipeline and did local backhoe work.
Jean and Jack enjoyed "old tyme" fiddle music, dancing and square dance groups. In 1950 their square dance group competed in London and then at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto.
In 1973 they retired from farming to Watford where Jack continued his backhoe work.
