Notes

Note: !See notes on Catherine Moran Wentworth for memories of Ethel and her relationship with her mother.
After her mother died, Ethel was cared for by her grandmother but Phyllis (Mom) wasn't sure if she was a blood relative or her actual grandmother. Grandmother was quite strict and Ethel liked to whistle and sing; Grandmother told her "Ladies don't whistle; they don't even sing!" Grandmother was also quite religious and Ethel attended church regularly. When Grandmother died, she was dressed for church and she was 88 years old, and she laid down across her bed to rest before church and died.
!Ethel left home at 16 and lied about her age (saying she was 18) so she could get into nursing school. After her mother died (when she was 4), Ethel's father remarried to Myrtle and Ethel was joined by three step-sisters; later, one half-sister, Eva, was born. Ethel said her stepmother always felt so sad that Ethel's mother had died, so she made extra allowances for Ethel, such as giving her first pick of the new dress fabrics she brought home, etc. She treated her as "special" by giving her extra privileges and was especially kind to her.
Before Eva was born, Myrtle had four daughters including Ethel; two had straight hair and two had curly hair. Every day for school, Myrtle would braid the two heads of straight hair and would curl the others with a cut off broomstick and a brush to make ringlets. The girls would leave for school with wet hair in Wisconsin and their hair would freeze. When it was exceptionally cold, father would take them to school in the buggy or wagon.
!Even though her mother was Catholic, Ethel's father decided not to raise Ethel as a Catholic (after the mother died) and wanted Ethel to decide for herself on a religion once she was grown. Ethel was active in the Episcopal Church for most of her life. She was also a very proud member of the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) in Lusk, WY chapter.
When Ethel later married Guy Murphy and he developed problems with alcohol, she told the following story about her experience with alcohol prior to marriage. She said her father would come in from the fields in the summer to sit in the washtub which had been sitting in the sun all day to warm and he would drink a pail of beer. She never saw him drunk so she wasn't the least bit concerned about men drinking alcohol.
