Johnny 'Cookie' Wilson was a baker and a cook from Westville, Nova Scotia. He was born into a coal mining family in the area but he chose a different career path. Johnny spent little time in the mines, instead preferring cooking in lumber camps throughout the province. It was tradition in these camps that the cooks assistant got the nickname 'cookie' which stuck with Johnny throughout his life, even though he eventually worked his way up to the head cook.
