"Billy Bishop was renowned as a pilot with the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force during World War I by shooting down at least 72 enemy aircraft and leading other daring missions against the enemy. For these exploits, he was awarded the Victoria Cross, the D.S.O. and other medals for bravery, becoming Canada's most decorated serviceman. Born in Owen Sound, he was educated here and at Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston. His later life was spent largely in England and Montreal. During part of World War II he served with the Royal Canadian Air Force in Ottawa as an honorary Air Marshal." The Bishop family had originally come from Massachusetts via New York State and two brothers,Warren and Avery,settled in Unionville outside Toronto. Avery stayed in Unionville and opened an inn on Con.5,Kennedy Rd. now, at Lot 13. Avery is most likely buried in the Luthern Cemetery north of Unionville but his grave is not known. However his 16 year old daughter's grave,Lucy,is there. Avery married a local girl Elizabeth Helmke. After Avery's death, Elizabeth and her son,Eleazar, left to travel in western Ontario. Elizabeth made it as far as Erin and is buried there. Eleazar kept going on to Owen sound and the rest of the story is known history.".
