Samuel Thomas Hilliard Guest, son of Thomas Guest and Rachel Lavina Gourlay, was born on 22 Apr 1896 in Ross Twp., died on 5 Dec 1984 in Ottawa, aged 88, and was buried in Cobden Union Cemetery.

Ada was born on 2 Aug 1899 in Cobden, died on 26 Aug 1975 aged 76, and was buried in Cobden Union Cemetery.
Hilliard is one of the few locals who served in both WWI and WWII.
He enlisted in the Army, Artillery on June 19, 1918 and was discharged on July 3, 1919. He served in England, having arrived there on July 22, 1918 aboard the SS Tunisian and departed England on June 23, 1919.
In January 1942, WWII, Hilliard enlisted into the Signal Corps and was stationed on Cape Breton Island. He served until the end of the war in 1946.
An interview published in The Cobden Sun when Hilliard was 88, describes his life?s journey.
Hilliard was a founding charter member of the Canadian Royal Legion, Cobden Branch 550 and served in various capacities. He was very active in other community organizations.
Hillard & Ada moved into Cobden in 1950, to a home on Crawford St. where a seniors? apartment building now stands (behind the flower shop). Many would remember Ada playing the church organ at Grace United.
Hilliard?s son Tom (m. Betty McLaren) also served and his photograph is attached.
