History / Biographical
LS notes: Built 1905. This sign has weathered exceptionally well considering the Campbell & Campbell partnership ended in 1920. Company became Campbell & Ferguson with Campbell furniture and Ferguson undertaker. Located at 29 10th Street, Campbell & Campbell remained in business until approximately 1925. In 1927 the business was known as Campbell Fergusson and Wright furniture. Campbell & Fergusson Ltd. continued operations in the building until around 1933. The Henderson's Directory lists the address as vacant in 1935 and 1937. Late in 1939 alterations were begun to turn the building into a barracks for the 71st Battery. In the summer of 1943, in cooperation with city council, the building was converted into a united services centre for the benefit of the personnel of His Majesty's Forces. Brandon's United Service Centre, which catered to more than a half million men and women in the armed services in 21 months officially closed its doors on November 30, 1945; the building had been sold to George Bass in October.

John Stanley Henry was born April 19, 1909 on the home farm at Oak River, MB. He attended Oak River school through Grade 11, then took agriculture at the University of Manitoba for one year before having to withdraw due to financial hardship. Stan then returned to the farm, where he remained for the rest of his life. Stan married Jean Elizabeth McCrindle (1916-1992) in 1942. Together they had three children: Cameron, Lynn and Leslie. As a farmer, Stan was a Select Seed Grower, and with his son Cam, developed the J.S. Henry and Son Seed business. In 1981, he was elected a Roberson Associate of the Canadian Seed Growers Association. In his early years, Stan also raised purebred Shorthorn cattle.
