    3. Hello, Just wondering if anyone has ever seen an old newspaper article about a "Joe" and Emily WING visiting Nova Scotia in the early 1900's. Emily's aunt was Mrs. Julia McNUTT, widow of Charles, in Salmon River? (near Truro). Joe and Emily were from Melrose, MA (US), married around 1910. Emily was the 3rd child of the great-grandparents I've mentioned many times - the "Home Children" arriving in Halifax in 1874. When "Stanley" LEWIS arrived, he became a printer's apprentice at the "Colchester Sun" in Truro. When Mary CORKILL arrived in 1875 at 15, her 2nd placement was with the MacDONALD family in Nine Mile River, which I think is in Hants County. I think Mary kept in touch with that family even after she married in Truro in 1879 and migrated to Massachusetts in 1881. So, her older daughters, when married, Mrs. "Mae" GREENE and Mrs. Emily WING, might have wanted to go visit that family. And, their older brother, "Will" LEWIS was born in Truro in 1880, so he might have visited, also. About 6 years ago I gratefully received a package of "old family photos" about the above family from a former resident of Nova Scotia. I think one of the pictures of Joe and Emily Wing might have been taken in Nova Scotia. (There should be information about the large MacDONALD family in the archives of this List. They took in many needy children.) Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA)
