NOTE - The enumerator erroneously entered Ethel as a male by writing "M" and the description "Son". I cannot explain why.

NOTE - If her birth date was 9 Aug 1879, then her age should have been 20 instead of 22. (Why would a young woman over-state her age instead of the more common understatement? Unless there was a school board requirement for all teachers to be at least 21 years old.)

Ethel married Charles Cooper on an unknown date. (Charles Cooper was born about 1874 and died on an unknown date.)
