Your Ulster-Scots/English Canadian grandmother, Lena Belle Johnson (or Johnston, the spellings in official records vary), left Berwick, Nova Scotia, Canada in 1892, at the age of 16. She went to work as a domestic servant in the home of George Stoddard, the Douglas, Massachusetts school superintendent. It seems she met your grandfather Thomas E. Wixtead in Douglas, Massachusetts sometime in the 1890s. Lena was raised a Baptist, although the Johnson family exhibited a penchant for religious flexibility and was alternately Baptist, Methodist and Anglican.
Lena was born in Berwick, Nova Scotia, in the Annapolis Valley. Her father (your great-grandfather), Thomas Andrew Johnson, was likely an apple farmer. The Dominion Atlantic Railway, which her husband Thomas E. Wixtead would later work for, connected Berwick to Halifax and Yarmouth.
