I read with interest the recent reference to the Tewksbury Nursing Home. My husband's grandmother was deposited there in the early 1900s by her mother. She was not a waif . Her mother was a widow.They reunited in her mother's in later life. I wonder if anyone remembers that Ann Sullivan, tutor to our famous Helen Keller, was raised there. Just an FYI from a Kenney who's ancestry goes way back to Boston & Braintree, MA. EKG
