Notes |
- Ellie attended Texas Presbyterian College where she majored in mathematics and played volleyball and tennis. Following graduation she worked at her father’s store as a bookkeeper. She was married on her 21st birthday and moved with her husband to Uvalde, Coupland, and in 1916 to Waco. She was an avid reader of items from light fiction to heavy non-fiction. It was this interest that caused her to become a staunch supporter of the Waco Public Library. She was also a booster of Baylor University, supporting and attending cultural events brought to Waco by the university.
In addition to reading, Ellie enjoyed handwork, including embroidery, knitting, and crocheting. She lived near an old ladies’ home and she often had several of these women spent time in her home. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and the Mothers’ Club of the schools and organizations with which her daughter was associated. She was an active member of the Order of Eastern Star and wa a past Worthy Matron of the Waco Chapter No. 7. At the time of her death she was District Deputy Grand Matron of the Grand Chapter of Texas.
