Newspaper Clipping of Lisa Marie Dixon's Birth Annoucement

Here is a newspaper clipping of my (Lisa Marie Dixon) birth announcement. I found this in with old photos. Not sure what newspaper this was published in or the date of publication. But it most likely was in January 1981 shortly after by birth on December 31, 1980.

Transcription of text in the document      BIRTHS  DIXON - Elizabeth (Boo) is thrilled to announce the arrival of her little sister Lisa Marie, on December 31, 1980 at 11:18 p.m. weighing 4 lbs 8 oz. Proud parents are John and Linda. Fifth grandchild for Mrs. E. Dagenais and second for Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Dixon. Special thanks to Dr. Horwitz, Dr. Donevan and Daddy for being there.    

Ancestry DNA Test Update

I received an email from Ancestry DNA, that due to the high holiday demand the lab is behind. So my Dad (John Marshall Dixon Sr.) and my DNA tests will take a while to be processed for our results.

Newspaper Clipping of Jean Gerturde (Marshall) Dixon

Here is a newspaper clipping of my Grandmother Jean Gertrude (Marshall) Dixon, my Dad's (John Marshall Dixon Sr.) mother using an old spinning wheel. I found this in with old photos. I am not sure of the date this of this or what newspaper this was published in.

Transcription of text in the document:   This old spinning wheel had been in the Fry family for more than 100 years. Examining it are Mrs. Doanld Segewick and Mrs. Edward Dixon, both of St. Catharines. The old beds and cradles also created great interest among visitors who thronged into every room.
