Per Narative of Jane Merrill entitled THE STRAW LEGACY:
"My mother always spoke of Ethel as being very smart. for a while she worked for her father who was then owner of his own shoe factory in Salem Ultimately she became a teacher first in Portland, ME and then in Medford/Melrose/Malden??? I often stayed with her in Allston where she boarded with Sarah Woodward. Sarah was quite a person. She had been the wife of one of my grandfather's superintendents. After his death she went into the baking business and sold her goods through the Women's Industrial Union. And she also ran a great boarding house. Aunt Ethel and I shared many good times when I visited her as a child. We went to the movies and munched peanut brittle through double features. She also gave me money to do my Christmas shopping - at Woolworth's. amazing what $1 could buy in those days. I was very upset by her death - my first in my family.
Ethel...died of breast cancer...Ethel...never married..."
