Terry Wood and Connie Scott show the photo of their father in his Second World War uniform at his headstone in Calvary Cemetery. James Wood was born 1917 at Chesley, the son of John Wood and Anna [Zettel]. During the Second World War, Wood was a gunner with the Royal Canadian Artillery and he has a stone on Walk of Honour at the cenotaph. He married Rose Weiler right after the war, and the family lived on Jackson Street South in Walkerton. There are 130 other veterans known to be buried in Calvary Cemetery. Thirty-five more veterans will be recognized at a special ceremony from No Stone Left Alone on Saturday, Aug. 19 starting 9 a.m. at Starkvale Cemetery, west of Paisley. Everyone, especially family members, are welcome to join the volunteers in placing a poppy rock on the headstones of veterans buried or commemorated in Starkvale Cemetery.
