Biographical history
Wilfred Wyman was born on 21 May 1869 in Chebogue, Yarmouth County. He married Florence Nightingale Gravel of Tusket Lakes on 18 May 1895. The couple had three children, Wilfred (b.1896), Maynard (b. 1898) and Iona. Wilfred Sr. went to sea in 1882 and later earned his master's papers and commanded British steamers on voyages around the world, employed by the Canadian National Steamships Ltd. Between 1895 and 1915 the family operated a produce business, selling fruit, eggs, and butter to local residents. The Wymans had a hot-house on their farm at Chebogue Point, which they used to grow much of their produce. Wilfred Jr. joined the army in the summer of 1915 and was sent to France as a machine gunner with the 25th Battalion of the Canadian Infantry (Nova Scotia Regiment). Wilfred Jr. was killed in action on 6 November 1917. Maynard joined the army ca. 1916 and also served in France with the 85th Battalion of the Canadian Infantry (Nova Scotia Regiment). Maynard returned home following the war, married and lived in Yarmouth. Iona lived in Nova Scotia and worked as a nurse.
