In 1926 Ethel married Robert M. Ladd, son of Charles A. and Laura Blanche (Callahan) Ladd.  He was born 12 February 1901 at Sedgwick, Maine.

Ethel's teacher, Lucy M. Closson, was born about September 1887 (the year may be off), at Sedgwick, Maine, daughter of William and  Nellie R. (Thompson) Closson, born at Sedgwick, Maine, and Clark's Island, St. George, Maine, respectively.

On 1 June 1904 at Sedgwick, Maine, Lucy M. Closson married Linwood L. Closson, son of Burley and Aphia Isabel (Page) Closson, both born at Sedgwick, Maine.
