After the boys finished school, they each moved away from home but remained in the Enderby area. The brothers all share the honor of having their names on the war memorial plaques that now hang in the council chambers in City Hall.

Jim worked as a telegrapher until World War I broke out, when he joined the Canadian Engineers, and later the Royal Canadian Flying Corps. He was posted in England, transferred to the Royal Air Force, and advanced to the rank of Major. He married an English girl, Josephine, whom he divorced before 1934, and later he married Countess Margaret O'Brien. He had no children from either marriage. Jim didn't return to Canada; he lived in England for the rest of his life, passing away in 1962.

In 1911, Ken was hired with David Jones to clear an acre of land for the North Enderby School. After chopping the trees down, they had to clear the stumps and brush, and then plough the land. They were given the cedar trees, along with $100 for their labour. They made the trees into posts, which they sold and added to their profit.

In World War I, Ken joined the B.C. Horse and was transferred to France. He was wounded and gassed in the Battle of Ypres. He was then declared unfit for the trenches, and transferred to the Royal Air Force in England, becoming Lieutenant Instructor. He returned to Enderby in 1918 and bought land south but adjoining Andrew Glen's orchard, owned by Mr. Smedley. Later, he married Edith Mathews and they had one daughter, Margaret Alma. They lived there until Ken developed tuberculosis from his war injuries, when they moved to Victoria. Ken's land was also donated to the city as part of the present cemetery.

Stewart went to the University of British Columbia for two years before the war broke out. At that time, he joined the Canadian Engineers, and then the Signal Corps. He was sent to Siberia with the 13th Infantry Signal Corps. After the war, he completed his Civil Engineering degree at the University of Edmonton. He spent the next 25 years working for the Imperial Oil Company in Peru. He married Mary Robertson, and they had no children.
