Ellery and Esther were high school sweethearts. However, they were not allowed to get married because she was Roman Catholic and he was Protestant. So, they dated for several years (until after 1930 and they were in their 30's) before their families consented to their marriage. They had no children. They both worked in a woolen mill in Uxbridge. Ellery was a dresser. Esther worked as a bookkeeper.
Ellery and Esther were married at 183 Mendon Street in Uxbridge. That was the house in which Esther was born, and in which the two of them resided throughout their married years.
A neighbor, Johanna Cornwell, remembers them fondly. She writes (in an e-mail to Ray Scribner, dated 28 July 2005), "I met them in 1972 when I was born. They were my neighbors and they took care of me as grandparents would. When my mother was pregnant again in 1973 she was on bedrest for the whole pregnancy and Esther & Ellery took care of me (they were in their 70's at the time). Unfortunately Ellery died in 1974. He and Esther were raking leaves outside when he suffered a massive & unexpected heart attack. My father rushed to help him but unfortunately he passed away before medical help could arrive. Esther and I remained incredibly close until she died in 1994 ... She was an amazing person, very loved."
Johnanna also relates that "Later in life Esther volunteered working at the gift shop at the Milford Hospital, she also hand knit materials for lepers and others who were in need of help. She did this type of work up until she died." Regarding Ellery, Johanna's father told her that Ellery was the nicest man he ever met.
