Wanda Jane MacLellan, daughter of Tom MacLellan and Margaret Colville, was born in 1885 and grew up in Caplan, Quebec. Her father owned a store and ran a lobster cannery in Caplan. As a young woman, Wanda traveled to the United States to find work and study. She worked as a bookkeeper in a shop while also taking night courses in bookkeeping. When the war broke out in 1914 she felt a need to make a contribution and attempted to join the Canadian Red Cross. However, she was unable to serve overseas because Canada only allowed qualified nurses to enlist in the Canadian Red Cross. This qualification was not required for service in the U. S. Red Cross, and so Wanda enlisted and was sent overseas. Wanda Jane MacLellan’s bilingualism became a decided asset while serving in France and she helped write many letters for wounded French soldiers. She was eventually assigned to the postal service where her bookkeeping skills were employed. After the war she married Hugh Cameron Watson, a local blacksmith in New Richmond. Wanda Jane McLellan later volunteered for the Red Cross as a secretary of the New Richmond branch during the Second World War. Wanda Jane MacLellan died in 1973.
