2. Summary:

John's oldest child, Ethel was trained as a nurse in MN and according to her obituary, it appears that after her training she moved to Seattle and then by 1927 to California (Santa Ana) and 1948 to Chico, Butte Co in California. She was married in 1927 to Lawrence Hammond and they were divorced prior to 1930 since she is recorded as divorced in the 1930 US Census. In 1932 she was married to Leslie Beer (he died in 1978). Ethel died in 1982 . Ethel continued to work as a Nurse over her life. It appears that she did not have any children.
